Here you go[1][2]. Make sure to return the coins once you no longer need them and also avoid using a VPN to bypass the limits, you're not the only one who wants to do tests.

You can try bitpay wallet: https://support.bitpay.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015463612-How-to-Create-a-Testnet-Wallet

Also to check transactions you can use https://blockstream.info/testnet/

- Bitcoin core (https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/). Once you install it, you'll get two executable (https://i.imgur.com/z0jB3kJ.png), one for mainnet and the other for test net.
- Electrum (https://electrum.org/#download). Find the shortcut (It should be in your desktop), right click it then choose "Properties" and add --testnet to Target (https://i.imgur.com/0m8zw0k.png).
- Mycelium  (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mycelium.testnetwallet&hl=en)(for android). You don't have to do anything.

If you end up choosing BitPay as suggested above, and you can't manage to create a wallet, that's because your country is banned, so you'll have to use a VPN to bypass that.

Here is a list of more faucets[1] you can use to get a free testnet coins. Basically, testnet coins are for developers to make sure that the system works effectively before trying it on the mainnet network, so if you are not a developer, understanding how BTC works is not complicated.
If you want to use it to learn trading and other things, please advise the following simulation software[2][3].
