Crossword Genius

Exam nerves not right — almost pulled out (6-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

eleven-plus

'exam' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Another definition for eleven-plus that I've seen is " School exam".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
