two questions: "week" and opposite to "test"
Hi to all,
Preliminary, i would like beforehand to thank you all for your help.
The first question is: What preposition do we predominantly use with the "week" or "weekdays"?
Eg. I visit my friends only _ weekdays.
On, at, in...? (Note, that we do say: "at the weekend")
The second question I am trying to figure out what adjective is opposite to "test".
Eg. It wasn't test ride, it was already______ ride.
Re: two questions: "week" and opposite to "test"
It depends what you want to say:
I will be there in a week. (A week from now is when I will go.)
I will be there for a week. (The duration of my visit.)
In the US, we say "On the weekend," not "at the weekend." We would also say "on weekdays" -- but I don't know what other dialects would say.
There is no good opposite to the adjective 'test' - perhaps 'actual.'
This is not a test scenario - it's an actual emergency!

Thanks for your hints,
yeah i thought of prepoistion being used in the example i quoted originally.
EG. I go to school _ weedays only.
The second question: I figured to express the story I have got.
"I was allowed to drive metro - it want only a test ride but it was a ride with passangers on - it was a ______ ride. (sharp??)
Re: two questions: "week" and opposite to "test"
Again, in the US, we'd say "on" - we go to school only on the weekdays.
I guess you can say the drive was "for real." There's no good opposite for this.
