Which one is correct in the above sentence: "test result" or "tests results"?

If John had one test, then it's "test result"; otherwise if he had more than one test, then "it's test results" (not "tests results").

Do English people use result word plural?

I don't understand what you mean by that. If you're asking about "results" (the plural of "result"), then the answer is yes, very much so. It's a common word in English.

Do English people use result word plural?

I think you mean something like 'English speakers' or perhaps 'native English speakers'. "English people" would mean people living in England (or at least born in England). Used in this manner, 'English' is an ethnicity, not a language.

I would always say "results" for a medical test.

 

[jutfrank]

Yes, I think people do often use the plural 'results' even when there is just one data point.

So do I. A test has results, even if it's only checking for one thing.
