It's a new way to take exams (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sit

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

'way to take exams' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'it's a new' is the wordplay.
'a new' indicates an anagram.
'its' with letters rearranged gives 'SIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sit that I've seen before include "Take a pew, an exam" , "Be seated" , "Take a chair" , "(Of bird) stay on nest" , "I sell badly the cotton yarn" .)
