Actually I do not know about prepositions in this case but I think it should be something like this: I am at Maths lesson. or I have Maths now. Give me English book please. or Would you give me this book in English class. Maths test. |

It (the usage of prepositions) very much depends on what you want to say, i.e. CONTEXT.
test in "a subject" is correct
to learn in "a class" (We are learning the Pythagorean Theorem in Math this week.)
A book on English - a book about English language. A book in English - a book written in English. _________________ con·text - The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. |
