OP I had an argument with my husband, who says that you always have to take a test, whether you are the person administering it, or appearing for it, while I maintain that the administering entity 'gives' a test, and the appearing one 'takes' it. eg. "My Math professor is going to take my test next week." (This according to him is correct, while in my opinion, it should be "My Math professor is going to give me a test next week."
Kindly help us settle this domestic dispute ;)
