With revision tries to take the examination again (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

resit

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'take the examination again' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'with revision tries' is the wordplay.
'with revision' indicates anagramming the letters.
'tries' anagrammed gives 'RESIT'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for resit that I've seen before include "second exam" , "tested again" , "repeated test" , "second try at test" , "Exam taken again" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
