Starring: Jim Carrey, Cary Elwes, Jennifer Tilly, Maura Tierney, Amanda Donohoe, Anne Haney, Justin Cooper
Continuity mistake: Audrey's cup disappears when Jerry sees Fletcher through the plane window.
Continuity mistake: Near the end, when Fletcher is giving the homeless man some change, notice how the man has a bright patch of light on him. In the next angle it's not there. Cut back to the wide shot and it's back.
Trivia: In the scene where Carrey is in the stretcher at the airport, if you look in the back of the crowd to the right, you will see Fire Marshall Bill from In Living Color. He can be seen when Carrey's ex-wife is speaking to the officer speaking on a walkie-talkie. (01:16:11)

Answer: As you said, he was testing to see if the wish was broken--by going up to an attractive woman and talking to her. While we don't hear what happens, he apparently said something a little too "forward" to her (probably more forward than he would have done otherwise, hence the "not as well as I had hoped"), and got slapped, so he knew that he was still under the wish's effects.

But I want to know what he said to the woman.
It's deliberately made unclear what he specifically said, because him getting slapped in the face is the gag that shows the audience that he's still under the spell. If we heard what he said, then we would know right away the new wish wouldn't have worked. It's ultimately up to the viewer's imagination to decide what he told the woman.
