Leave, having failed intake exam (4,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

make an exit

'leave' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'failed intake exam' is the wordplay.
'failed' is an anagram indicator.
'intake'+'exam'='intakeexam'
'intakeexam' anagrammed gives 'MAKE AN EXIT'.

'having' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
