							| to apply a test???? 
 |  
							| I just want to know dear friends if the use of this collocation "to apply a test" is correct.  I feel it �s incorrect since I believe it is a literal translation Spanish speakers do.  In Spanish we say "aplicar un examen". An action the teacher does, but is it the appropriate English form?  I use administer a test instead...please make it clear.  thnx! |  10 Aug 2011

							| Give a test or administer a test. 
 Definitely not  �apply a test �. |  10 Aug 2011
