The official answer sheet for the National High School Examination (Enem) will be released until November 20th by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep). The final result will be known on January 13, 2025.
This year, more than 4.3 million candidates registered for the exam. The tests were administered in two stages: last Sunday (3), there were 90 questions on languages, history, geography, sociology and philosophy, in addition to an essay; this Sunday (10), it was the turn of the 90 questions from mathematics, physics, chemistry and biology.
Enem assesses students’ academic performance at the end of basic education. Over more than two decades of existence, Enem has become the main gateway to higher education in Brazil, through the Unified Selection System (Sisu) and initiatives such as the University for All Program (Prouni).
Public and private educational institutions use Enem to select students. The results are used as a sole or complementary criterion for selection processes, in addition to serving as a parameter for access to government aid, such as that provided by the Student Financing Fund (Fies).
Individual Enem results can also be used in the selection processes of Portuguese institutions that have an agreement with Inep to accept exam scores. The agreements guarantee easy access to grades for Brazilian students interested in pursuing higher education in Portugal.
