Pile on
Hi,
"The test was along the same lines as the sample test, but the teacher piled on the original instructions with more details/piled more details on the original instructions."
Does one of these work? 
Thank you.

"Piled on" has strong connotations of fighting or roughhousing and is not right for an academic context. You'd say instead, for example: The test was along the same lines as the sample test, but the teacher revised the instructions to make them more detailed and easier to understand.
