God seems to revel in testing mankind (Job is a prime example).
It has something to do with giving us free will.
So, if when we get to Heaven, we are not tested anymore, doean that mean that God takes our free will away?
When people get to Heaven, or the angels that are in Heaven now, do they still have free will? Is it impossible for there to be another Heavenly rebellion, or will we be too fulfilled to do that?
Does that mean that the angels in Heaven were not originally properly fulfilled, or they would not have rebelled?
Where is the eternal security that Christians seem so obsessed with?

If we make it to heaven, we will have passed the test.

When we get to Heaven our trials will be over. We will have chosen freely to live God's laws.Thus, reaping our heavenly reward. The angels are in Heaven by their own free will choice.They had an opportunity to rebel and chose to stay. Praise God! I can't say another heavenly rebellion couldn't happen. But its not spoken of in scripture. Of that I am certain.The Bible states the only people eternally secure are those who endure to the end.

I don't think you need to worry about this. Since you are a non-believer, you will not be going to heaven.
Not sure about the whole 'free-will' thing in hell, though. So can't really answer that for you.

The grief placed on Job was through satan.
Was it God that allowed satan to temp Jesus in the wilderness?

as soon as we take the test word out of head, we will not be tested.

Heaven is not a real thing. it is a concept to control the people who wish to do bad things. Just think practically. you can't prove there is a heaven. it is a faith only.

It wouldn't be bliss unless you could smoke all the dope, bang all the women, and watch all the football the world could offer.
