Just the one needed! (I would say the guy who has set this is the same as the one who set LAST weekend's cryptic Jumbo. They always take about three times longer to solve overall than normal)! Anyway, 7 Down is
"Trio making up XI before a Test" and I have
-I-A (4 letters). Help appreciated.

VIVA

=viva voce - oral test of knowledge.
= trio of letters, VIV befor A - VI = 6 add V ==5, total eleven.

Thanks, paul - I think I would have been here forever thinking of that!

you're welcome, Rocketman!
