Did you give the ACC exam last year?
Here, the word "give" sounds absurd. Is there some word(s) for replacement for give or maybe some word which is specially meant to be used for exam ?
Can you suggest a couple of such words?

If you study for an exam, then sit down and answer the questions, then you are taking the exam. I’ve also heard “sit an examâ€Â.
If you write down exam questions, then hand them out to your students, then you are giving the exam.
If you watch over students taking an exam, you are proctoring the exam.

Invigilate can also be used (in the same sense as proctor), especially in UK English.

If by "give" you mean "handed out the exam and watched while the students took it" then it's perfectly idiomatic.
Our History teacher gave us a pop quiz this morning, but I think I did OK.
Otherwise you can say administer a test, although this is more formal, and more common with standardized, official tests (such as whatever the ACC is). You would not normally write a test you administer, but only oversee the testing process.
Proctor similarly means to administer a test, although it usually is applied to the authorities in the room while the test is being taken. Someone who administers a test might manage the group of people who proctor that test.
