Can a radon test give false results?

Sure, but for the most part the short-term variety of radon test kits are quite reliable. The errors usually occur if the directions are not followed and this can be especially true of test kit placement. For real estate transactions a 2 vile/canister is stipulated to assure the accuracy of the test.

So it is prudent to do a second test or use a double test kit or if your levels are between 4pCi/L to 10pCi/L a long-term test will give you a true average of the homes level.
