'such a testing experience?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'do real results' is the wordplay.
'results' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'result of' mean this).
'do'+'real'='doreal'
'doreal' anagrammed gives 'ORDEAL'.

'come from' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ordeal that I've seen before include "Difficult and testing experience" , "A test of endurance or or difficult experience" , "Trial; nightmare" , "A tough time in Laredo" , "Suffering - trial" .)

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