Prescient beginners are inclined to fake it (7)
I believe the answer is:
pretend
'fake it' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'prescient beginners are inclined' is the wordplay.
'prescient beginners' becomes 'pre' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'are inclined' becomes 'tend' (I've seen this in another clue).
'pre'+'tend'='PRETEND'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pretend that I've seen before include "Simulated" , "make a false claim" , "Simulate - make up" , "Suppose" , "Behave unnaturally" .)
