Study and given a test, I fancy (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

investigate

'study' is the definition.
(investigating is a kind of studying)

'given a test i fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'given'+'a'+'test'+'i'='givenatesti'
'givenatesti' is an anagram of 'INVESTIGATE'.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for investigate that I've seen before include "carry out a formal enquiry" , "Search" , "Enquire into" , "check out" , "Examine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
