The said test (4)

I believe the answer is:
oral
Here is my best explanation:
This clue is a double definition.
'the said' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'test' is the second definition.
(oral is a kind of test)
This clue was last seen in The Telegraph
(Other definitions for oral that I've seen before include "Word of mouth", "Exam using speech", "Examination", "Type of examination", "Kind of exam", "Relating to speech", "Unwritten examination", "Spoken - examination", "Type of exam" and "Related to the mouth".)
