i have taken the test vs I took the test

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'I have taken the test' is in the present perfect tense, indicating an action that happened at an unspecified time before now and which may have relevance to the present moment. 'I took the test' is in the simple past tense, indicating an action that occurred at a specific time in the past.
