Hedonist tense after exam in German city
I believe the answer is:
bon vivant
'hedonist' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'tense after exam in german city' is the wordplay.
'tense' becomes 't' (abbreviation used in many dictionaries).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'exam' becomes 'viva' (short for 'viva voce', an oral examination**).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'german city' becomes 'bonn' (I've seen this before).
'viva' placed inside 'bonn' is 'bonvivan'.
't' put after 'bonvivan' is 'BON VIVANT'.
(Other definitions for bon vivant that I've seen before include "He's fond of good food and wine - in France" , "Jovial companion" , "one enjoying best courses" , "One who enjoys eating and drinking" , "Hedonist" .)
