A:
Before she joined the study group, she wanted to test the waters to see if they were helpful.

He didn’t want to call her his girlfriend before he got a chance to test the waters with her.

It comes from the idea of touching water before you climb in. It might be too hot or too cold. If you test the water metaphorically, it means you are gathering information about something before you get too deep.

A: I'm not sure if they want to do business, I'll arrange a meeting to test the waters.

A: “Making” is the same as “creating”, so if she is making a test, she is probably a teacher.

Example; “She’s making the test for the eighth grade students this year.”

“Doing” a test isn’t really right, usually we would say “taking”.

Example; “She’s taking a test today, wish her luck!”

A: Exam is a formal test of a person's knowledge or proficiency in a subject or skill. For example a school exam is a test taken at the end of the year that can have a huge impact on your grade , whereas a test is a short written or spoken examination which focuses on less information than an exam.
Examples:
a) "Even though I failed the test, I don't mind since it won't really have an impact on my grade"
b)"He said he failed his exam and might have to repeat a grade."

A: In educational terms, an exam is more formal - like the exams you would sit at the end of a school year to gain a qualification. A test is less formal - perhaps an end of unit test to check for understanding which doesn’t count towards any final grade.

A: Well a test is mostly what you get in primary/high school etc. It's way easier than an exam.

An exam is something like a semestrial paper and it mostly contains all the topics that you've been learning about throughout the semester (for a specific subject)

That's how we call them anyway, I wonder if it's different in other areas, lol.

A: Both imply the same thing, and can be interchangeable in an education setting. Exam is short for examination which is defined as a detailed inspection or study.

If you are asking in terms of a test/exam at school or university, both are very similar. Tests and exams assess a student's knowledge by providing a series of questions which they must answer.

The only real difference between these two words is that exam may be seen as more formal. An exam often holds more weight than tests do.

I.e. "I had a test in maths class this morning."
"I had an exam in maths class this morning."
The second sentence would imply that the test was more serious and not a simple quiz.

A: I went to the car dealership today to test drive some new cars. I drove two cars that were handicapped accessible. It was difficult for me to put the wheelchair in the car. I need to practice putting the wheelchair in the car in order to use this car.

I would need clarification on the last sentence but this is a corrected version of your paragraph.

I went to the car dealership today. I test drove two cars that were handicapped accessible. It was difficult for me to put the wheelchair in these cars, so before I buy a new car I need to make sure it is easy to put the wheelchair in.

This would be a more smooth way to say it.

A: × The test is coming up, so I spend whole time on studying English today.
✓ The test is coming up, so I shall/should/will spend the whole day studying English.

The difference between shall / should / will is subtle. "Shall" means I definitely will study all day. "Should" means I am required to study all day (but I may not). "Will" means I have the intention to study all day.

A: I feel bad. ⭕️ (自然)

I feel regret (少し不自然)

I regret it. ⭕️

A: Perfectly natural. I might consider changing the period (.) after test to an exclaimation mark (!) to show added excitement, and removing the word "that". It isn't wrong, it's just unnecessary and a native speaker will probably drop it:

"I'm so happy I passed the test! Now, I can take a break for a while."
