Answer 1

Try the following: use function name as modulename_menu and use 'access arguments' => array('access content').

<?php
  function test_menu(){
  $item = array();
  $item['mymenu'] = array(
  'description'=>'test1',
  'page callback'=>'mymenu_test',
  'access arguments' => array('access content'),
  'type'=>MENU_CALLBACK,
  );
  return $item;
  }

  function mymenu_test() {
  $output = 'hello world';
  return $output;
  }

Answer 2

whenever you see a api function with hook_something, you have to replace the 'hook' part with the name of your module

in this case it's indeed mymenu_menu

Answer 3

you need to flush menu cache(at least two times in drupal 7) after adding menu item with hook_menu.

Answer 4

It should be

function mymenu_menu() { ... }

You don't need the $item = array(); there also.
