If you're talking about English as a class then "in" is fine, but if you're talking about a test of English knowledge then "on" is more appropriate.
So, "We're having a test in English today" is used when you have a test in English class, while "I took a test on English for a job" would be used when not taking classes.

Why don't you just say "english test" instead? then you won't have to worry about. For example "I took an English test today". It depends on the usage, but "I took a test in English" is more correct.

I always said "a test in english". It refers to the class itself,I believe, not the subject.
