A World of Warcraft (WoW) Public Test Realm is a realm that has the next unreleased patch or update data installed. This is open to anyone and is totally free for all users with active accounts. All you have to do is download the updated client. Blizzard uses these realms to test their unreleased updates, so they can make any amendments or improvements to the updates before it is released.

It is installed just like the live client, except it should go into a separate directory other than the one your live client is in.

Is the wizard101 test realm able to turn to normal realm?

The Wizard101 test realm isn't and doesn't turn into an actual realm. Everything you do in the test realm has no effect on your live realm account. Usually, after everything new in the test realm has been tested, they make it put it in the live game and close the test realm. :)

It will be released in a patch a little before Cataclysm hits.
