I know what you mean. I make that mistake all the time. I will end up saying " I am giving GRE next month" instead of saying " I am taking GRE next month". I am a native Bengali speaker. Whenever I have to say something in English, I will construct the sentence in Bengali and then translate it to English. In Bengali, we use "give the test" in lieu of "take the test". As a result, when I translate it to English, I am more inclined to say "give the test". ..haha
