Exit Exam for ENC0085. The State of Florida requires an exit exam for ENC 0085—the same exam that is required for ENC0021. In order to pass the course, you must achieve the minimum score on the exit exam. The exam consists of two parts: an objective subtest and a writing subtest. (For more information on the ENC0085 final examination, see the section entitled “Exit Test for ENC0021”)
