linguex forest in multicols larger than margin

Question

I'd like to have two forest in one row. Unfortunately it is slightly over the page margin. I am new in latex. Do you have any suggestions for me?

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,DIV=15,BCOR=12mm,oneside,numbers=noenddot,leqno,headsepline,headings=small]{scrbook}
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}

\usepackage{linguex}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{forest}

Welcome to TeX.SE! There are many options, but given the shapes of your trees I would suggest that shifting them to the left and making the horizontal distance between the items a bit smaller may already be sufficient.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,DIV=15,BCOR=12mm,oneside,numbers=noenddot,leqno,headsepline,headings=small]{scrbook}
\setlength{\parskip}{0pt}

\begin{multicols}{2}
\ex. \label{ex: test1} 
\a.\hspace*{-3mm}\begin{forest}  
baseline,
for tree={s sep=1mm}
        [
   [tester3,l*=3]
   [
 [tester2,l*=2]
 [
   [tester]
   [tester]

\label{ex: test2}
    \end{forest}
\b.\hspace*{-3mm}\begin{forest}

     [ [ [

  ]
\label{ex: test3}

\end{multicols}

I am sorry. I also use "pretty nice empty nodes". Where should I include the s sep and \hspace? link — Sven, Sep 30 '18 at 20:41
@Sven s sep goes into for tree and \hspace* is a rather brutal fix that goes in front of \begin{forest}, just like in my code. Wouldn't it be better if you posted the tree that you want to use if you have these questions? — , Sep 30 '18 at 21:06

You could just reduce the padding in each node. Here I zero it, which may be a bit extreme, but you can adjust the value as required.

\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,DIV=15,BCOR=12mm,oneside,numbers=noenddot,leqno,headsepline,headings=small]{scrbook}
    % \setlength{\parskip}{0pt}% Don't do this!!
