This clue could be a double definition.

'essays written in' is the first definition.

'examinations' is the second definition.
('test' can be a synonym of 'examination')

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tests that I've seen before include "Trials for cricketers" , "Tries out" , "Examinations, trials" , "Major cricket matches" , "Puts to proof at cricket matches" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
