I've just been over my preparation — getting to grips with university (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

your move

'i've just been' is the definition.
(as in a board game)

'over my preparation getting to grips with university' is the wordplay.
'preparation' is an anagram indicator.
'getting to grips with' is an insertion indicator.
'university' becomes 'ou'.
'over'+'my'='overmy'
'overmy' anagrammed gives 'yrmove'.
'yrmove' going around 'ou' is 'YOUR MOVE'.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
