Not able to attach to a project

The "Test" in the name is a remnant in our WU generator from the test phase. What you got and are working on are real "Results", so everything seems to be fine for you.

Not able to attach to a project

Have tried repeatedly to connect to a project, but have been unsuccessful. I have my account key, downloaded the BOINC Software, and the BOINC logo shows up on my screen saver. The screen saver message reports that no project has been attached. I have the project URL but yet I'm missing something. It is probably obvious... but, this high school physics teacher is unable to see what I've missed. What am I doing wrong?

Have you registered with Einstein (or other projects) in addition to registering with BOINC? These are separate registrations and you get different account keys.

'... in addition to registering with BOINC' is misleading. You need to download the BOINC software, then register separately with each BOINC PROJECT, for example Einstein@home, SETI@home, etc.
