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 judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'it's a new' is the wordplay.
'a new' is an anagram indicator.
'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" .)
