What was Malcolm's test of mac-duff?
The future King Malcolm III [d. November 13, 1093] wanted the throne of Scotland. He didn't want to make the mistake of his father, King Duncan I [d. August 14, 1040], and trust the wrong people. Indeed, his father had trusted Macdonwald, who rebelled against his sovereign and his country; the Thane of Cawdor, who betrayed his king and his country to King Sweno of Norway; and Macbeth, who killed him. So Malcolm wanted to make sure that Macduff had no ambitions other than to avenge the murder of his entire family and household under Macbeth's orders.Also, Malcolm's theory was that Macduff praised Macbeth highly (and the feeling was returned), even though he is now a victim of Macbeth's tyrannical power (when Macbeth had his family killed). "This tyrant .../was once thought honest, you have loved him well" (12-13); it is because of the reasoning presented in this quote that Malcolm thinks that Macduff might want to betray him to Macbeth.

What was the summary of Macbeth?
Macbeth is a play made in 1606. It about Macbeth being king by murdering. The play started with Macbeth and Banquo meeting the witches that tell them that Macbeth shall be king. Lady Macbeth knew about that and because of her impatience, she thought about killing the king. Luckily, King Duncan had already said that he is going to Macbeth's castle. So as Lady Macbeth told Macbeth her plan to kill the king. When the mission was completed, Malcolm(king's son) fled to England. Macbeth wanted Banquo dead because he was him when they saw the witches. Banquo was dead but his son Fleance (Banquo's son) managed to escape. Lady Macbeth expected that she could handle the pressure of the murder but she couldn't, so she committed suicide. Now, Macbeth was alone, so he was frightened. He went to the witches for further explanations of what's happening. One of the witches said 'No man born of a woman shall hurt you.' Another witch continued 'But beware, since the trees are moving' Now, Macbeth was satisfied. Macduff (one of Macbeth's men) felt uncomfortable about what's happening so he fled to England to rejoin with Malcolm to make an army to attack Macbeth. Macbeth took his army and when they passed from infront of the forest, Macduff and Malcolm appeared surprisingly with their army. Macbeth said 'Don't waste your time, since no born from a woman can hurt me.' Then Macduff said 'I wasn't born, Iwas taken out by the caesarean section.' Macbeth knew it was the end of his faith so Macduff killed Macbeth and swooshed his head off holding it and said 'This what will happen to you'
Does King Duncan know Macbeth wants to be king?
No. King Duncan was clueless. He admits it himself: "There's no art to find the mind's construction in the face; he was a gentleman in whom I built an absolute trust." He had no idea what was going on with Macbeth. Macbeth really expected to be named as Duncan's heir (he was after all a successful warrior unlike the feckless Malcolm) and was shocked and hurt when Duncan named Malcolm Prince of Cumberland. And then Duncan says "And now the party's at Macbeth's place!" He was, as I said, clueless.
What happened to Malcolm by the end of Macbeth?
Historically, no. Macbeth was succeeded by his stepson Lulach, who only reigned a short time. Shakespeare cut Lulach out as an unnecessary character (although we do hear that Lady Macbeth has "given suck" which must refer to him.) and had Malcolm succeed Macbeth. Historically inaccurate but dramatically more satisfying.
Why is Macbeth preparing for war at the end of act 3?
The final moment of the play, after Malcolm's speech, could bring out three different interpretations: (1) that there will now be peace and harmony in Scotland; (2) that Malcolm will not be strong enough to prevent civil war from breaking out; (3) that Malcolm will himself prove to be a tyrant. Also one of William Shakespeare's signature ways to end his plays was to have a character of social significance, not necessarily one that was significant in the plot
