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

'tests for which' is the definition.
'orals' can be an answer for 'tests' (oral is a kind of test). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'something to be said' is the wordplay.
'something' becomes 's' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'to' says to put letters next to each other (I've seen this in other clues).
'be said' becomes 'oral' (I've seen this before).
's' put after 'oral' is 'ORALS'.

'there is' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orals that I've seen before include "Spoken exams" , "Tests" .)

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