How to use 试卷
试卷 is the physical or printed paper for a test, not the test event itself. The common measure word is 张 (zhāng) or 份 (fèn). Example: 老师正在改试卷。(Lǎoshī zhèngzài gǎi shìjuàn.) The teacher is grading the exam papers.
试 (shì) means to test or try, and 卷 (juàn) means a roll or sheet of paper. Put them together and you get the paper you are tested on: an exam paper.
Common mistake: Learners often use 试卷 when they mean the exam as an event. For "I have an exam tomorrow" say 我明天有考试 (kǎoshì), not 试卷. Also note that 卷 here is fourth tone juàn, not third tone juǎn as in 卷发 (juǎnfà, curly hair).
