Enem ends this Sunday, with the Mathematics and Natural Sciences tests

The national exam will have 90 multiple-choice questions starting at 1:30 p.m.

Second and last day of the national high school leaving exam (Enemy) 2024 will take place this Sunday 10th. The test will have 90 multiple choice questions, divided into Mathematics and its Technologies (45 questions on Mathematics) and Natural Sciences and its Technologies (45 questions on Biology, Physics and Chemistry).

Enem is a requirement for the Unified Selection System (Sisu), the main gateway to higher education, and for other federal public policies, such as the Student Financing Fund (Fies) and the University for All Program (ProUni) , which grants scholarships to private universities.

Those registered will be able to access the testing sites between 12.00 and 13.00, when the gates close. The test starts at 1.30pm and students will be able to leave the classroom from 3.30pm, but without taking the question book with them. If the candidate wants to collect the notebook they will have to wait until 6.00 pm. The test ends at 6.30pm.

In general, the Natural Science test usually follows the exam pattern and requires a lot of interpretation skills from students, as well as the ability to apply scientific concepts in real-life situations.

Students who did not take the first test last Sunday will normally be able to take the exam this Sunday. If you did not show up on the first day due to logistical problems or infectious diseases, the candidate will be able to request to resubmit the missed assessment between 11 and 15 November.

The request must be made online, through the Enem Participant Page. If the case is provided for in the announcement, the member will be authorized to take the missed test. Anyone who does not meet the rules for reapplication will be considered absent on the day they were absent, but their grades for the second day will be published as normal in the individual performance report. The score will only be used for self-assessment of knowledge.

The rules for carrying out the test will be almost identical to those on the first day. The only difference is the closing time of the exam: it ends half an hour earlier than last Sunday, when the Writing test was also administered.

After the administration of Enem, this Sunday, Inep will disclose the data on abstention from the exam. Last year, 32% of candidates were absent on the second day of the test, following the pattern of recent years. The government is looking for ways to reduce the number of absences and encourage students to attend.

Last Sunday, the Language tests were administered, with 40 questions in Portuguese and 5 in English or Spanish, and the Human Sciences tests, with 45 questions including History, Geography, Philosophy and Sociology, as well as Writing. The students had to talk about “Challenges for the valorization of African heritage in Brazil”, a topic appreciated by the teachers. Enem has a history of addressing sensitive issues in the Brazilian reality, addressing issues that are the result of inequality between different social groups.

Increased participation

Organized by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep), Enem is applied in 1,753 municipalities, for the 4,325,960 confirmed members. This corresponds to an increase of practically 10% compared to the 3,933,970 recorded last year. Of these 4.3 million, 1,616,606 are completing high school. Another 1,843,085 members have already completed it and 841,546 are in high school and will take the exam as training.

Student profile

Inep data shows that more than half (60.59%) of Enem members are women (39.41% are men). The majority recognize themselves as brown (1,860,766), followed by white (1,788,622) and black (533,861). Another 62,288 consider themselves yellow and 29,891 declare themselves indigenous.

According to statistics, the state with the highest number of registrations is Sao Paulo, with 645,849, followed by Minas Gerais (393,007) and Bahia (376,352).

Founded in 1998, Enem evaluates students’ academic performance at the end of high school. Participants who have not yet completed high school can participate as trainers, and the results obtained in the exam are used only for self-assessment of knowledge.

In addition to the national entry methods, ENEM performance is also considered for entry into Portuguese higher education institutions affiliated with Inep. The agreements ensure easy access to grades for Brazilian students interested in pursuing higher education in that country.
