'quiz' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'divorced husband over stripping game' is the wordplay.
'divorced husband over' becomes 'ex' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'stripping' says to take the centre (outer letters strip off).
The centre of 'game' is 'am'.
'ex'+'am'='EXAM'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for exam that I've seen before include "One test" , "Set of questions evaluating skill or knowledge, in short" , "Written test" , "paper" , "End-of-course assessment" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
