You probably need to apply again as if you go to appeal, only material will be considered which was provided at the time of refusal and since your refusal was lawful your appeal will be turned down by judge and the process might take months. Best way is to apply again and write the reason for refusal. Good luck.

Maybe you have applied spouse visa without English test with the assumption to send it later but only the documents dated/attached till the date of application are considered.

Based on your dates, she took the test long after she applied and didnt submit it so the refusal is then correct.

Quicker to reapply.
