administer
Give out formally
Administer means to manage or direct—typically an organization, system, or process: She administers a nonprofit with fifty employees.
It also means to give or apply something formally: administer medicine, administer an oath, administer punishment.
A test is administered when officially given.
The word carries institutional weight—you don't administer a birthday present, but you might administer an estate.
