LOcal reseller offers only 5 day return warranty so i need to check the macbook quickly. It is my first mac so i am new to the system. Its 2015 base model. How can i check monitor, cpu, graphics, treackpad, ram and ssd? What should i do and what programs to use? I am most worried about screen. Please help.
Run Apple Diagnostics:

An error free result is not necessarily definitive.
It is best to have it tested at an Apple store genius bar. They have better testing tools.
To check the display, generate an all white screen to check for dead pixels (they will be black) and generate an all black display for permanently lit pixels (they should be obvious).
Ciao.
THank you for the reply. I want to clerfiy a few things though
1) should i run prime 95 and f.e. 3d mark after
APple diagnostics
IN us when one buys macbook in apple store can they ask foR it to be checked for defects without having to revisit again?

I do not understand what 'prime 95' and 'f.e. 3d mark' are.

That really is not necessary in the USA. If you purchase from an Apple store, you may return a MBP for an exchange or refund within 14 days from the purchase date. If you want, you certainly could have it checked., but you may do that any time.

I will be in usa soon on a trip so i though i might as well buy it there. Ill only have about 2 days to return it though so if they could check on spot it'd be great.
