Understand

Enem assesses students’ academic performance at the end of basic education. Over more than two decades, it became the main gateway to higher education in Brazil.

Exam scores can be used to access the Unified Selection System (Sisu) and the University for All Program (ProUni) and are also accepted in Portuguese higher education institutions that have an agreement with Inep.

Enem participants can also apply for student financing in government programs, such as the Student Financing Fund (Fies).

Anyone who has already completed high school or is completing the stage can take the Enem to access higher education. Those who have not yet completed it can participate as a trainer. The results, in this case, are only used for self-assessment of knowledge.
