Forward QUERY_STRING in .htaccess url rewrite

Question

Suppose I want to rewrite from

http://example.com/test?data=abcxyz

to

 http://example.com/index.php?module=test&data=abcxyz

I tried

RewriteRule ^test?(.*)$ index.php?module=test&$1 [L]

But it doesn't work, the QUERY_STRING becomes module=test&s. (The whole string data=abcxyz become s). How can I accomplish this task? Many thanks in advance!
