Give a test in a new form of study (11)
I believe the answer is:
investigate
'study' is the definition.
(I know that investigate is a more specific form of the action examine)
'give a test in a new form of' is the wordplay.
'new form of' indicates anagramming the letters.
'give'+'test'+'in'+'a'='givetestina'
'givetestina' anagrammed gives 'INVESTIGATE'.
(Other definitions for investigate that I've seen before include "Look into" , "Enquire into" , "Explore" , "Search" , "Probe" .)
