A very studious student (4)

I believe the answer is:

swot

(Other definitions for swot that I've seen before include "Study too much - or the student" , "Study intensively for an exam" , "Person who studies hard" , "Very keen pupil" , "Student who studies harder than others" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
