Yes, it is possible!! but you need write SeeAllData=true(as like below) for access org data.

@isTest(SeeAllData=true)

Ideally you should create your own test data!

Hi Viswsanath,
    Yes,it is possible to write  a soql in test class using @IsTest(SeeAll=True) Annotation.
Annotate your test class or test method with IsTest(SeeAllData=true) to open up data access to records in your organization.

Considerations for the IsTest(SeeAllData=true) Annotation:
  • If a test class is defined with the isTest(SeeAllData=true) annotation, this annotation applies to all its test methods whether the test methods are defined with the @isTest annotation or the testmethod keyword.
  • The isTest(SeeAllData=true) annotation is used to open up data access when applied at the class or method level. However, using isTest(SeeAllData=false) on a method doesn’t restrict organization data access for that method if the containing class has already been defined with the isTest(SeeAllData=true) annotation. In this case, the method will still have access to all the data in the organization.
