How it's used

Refers specifically to the physical paper containing exam questions. While students often use the word to talk about the test itself, it is distinct from the abstract concept of an exam, which is usually referred to as 考試. It is common to pair this with verbs like 派 or 拎 when discussing the distribution of papers in a classroom setting.

Measure word

Common mistake

Learners sometimes confuse this with 試題, which refers to the questions themselves rather than the physical sheet of paper. Remember that 試卷 is a countable object, so you must use a measure word like 張 or 份.
