The absolute best way is to remove it from the vehicle and test it on a work bench. Hooking the black (-) to the case of the starter, the Red(+) to the large terminal on the started solenoid, the jumping with a wire or starter switch between the + and the small screw terminal on the starter solenoid. Make sure the starter is sitting solidly on the bench, if it is good, it will "turn over" and could move about the bench.
If you don't want to go through all of that, you can take it to most auto parts stores and they can test it for you.

Typically this signifies that your starter motor has either jammed, or is faulty. To check that it has not jammed, give it a whack on the end with a small hammer, or fairly large wrench. If that does the trick, then the starter motor was jammed, if not, you need a replacement starter motor.
When 1997 Saturn sl starter clicks?
The single click, that you hear when the starter switch is operated, is the solenoid making the high tension connection to the starter motor. If the starter motor doesn't turn over, you will need to check both the battery feed to the solenoid and the feed from the solenoid to the starter motor (this is typically a short length of braided cable). I have known this cable to corrode through. If it has, the easiest remedy, is to replace the entire starter motor.
