You need to look at the result. There are a number of things that can be wrong. Fixing the wrong thing might make this test work, but other things fail.
1) Have you calibrated your extruder? Does it move 10mm of filament when you tell it to move 10mm of filament?
2) Have you measured the diameter of your filament? It's going to be something like 2.94 mm rather than 3.0. The number needs to be put in Slic3r
3) What is the diameter of the hole in your hot end? It's going to be something like 0.42 mm rather than 0.4. There are a number of ways to measure it.
4) What is your layer height in Silc3r? What is the extrusion width? Extrusion width needs to be > the hole in the hot end, but not by a lot.
5) What is the ratio of layer height to extrusion width? Something like layer height = extrusion width / 1.5 is a good start
6) What is the flow rate adjust set to? Ideally it should be 1.0.
--------------
Does the part not fit because it's warped? That's a whole different set of things?
Does the part not fit because of banding or skips - again a different set of issues?
Do you have retraction set up right? = another set of things to look at.
What kind of setup do you have, is it unusual? - could be a whole bunch of things.
Pictures might be a good idea.
