Compile hit clue for cracking sort of quiz! (8-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

multiple-choice

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for cracking sort of quiz' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'compile hit clue' is the wordplay.
'compile hit clue' anagrams to 'MULTIPLE-CHOICE'.
But, I'm unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for multiple-choice that I've seen is " Like some exam papers".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
