<p>而已 expresses that something is merely what it is. It is like
saying "it's only a test, that's all." 而已 is put at the end of the
sentence to emphasis that something is just what it is.</p>

<p>Whenever you need to emphasize that something is just what it is
and nothing more, you can stick 而已 at the end of the sentence. You
can also use it in combination with 仅仅，只，就，才 and so on , which
means "merely," though it is optional.</p>
