Note that changes to user system objects should not interfer with your ability to execute CREATE USER commands as long as the username running the command has the privilege. By "system schema" do you mean username = SYSTEM or SYS?

If system, then do you have an export?

If SYS then running catalog and catproc plus any optional featues created via dbms_ scripts would be my approach.

If that does not work then re-create the database and reload it from an export since this is test that should be good enough.
