Overview
- The essay prompt was “Perspectives on Aging in Brazilian Society,” aligning the exam with debates on demographic change and ageism.
- Of 4.8 million confirmed registrants, 73% sat the exam and 27% were absent, with a record 17,192 candidates aged 60 or older.
- Security was tightened with metal detectors in all rooms, and 3,240 participants were eliminated for rule violations, according to the MEC and Inep.
- The MEC set November 13 for release of the official day-one answer key, while the edital requires full official keys by the 10th business day after day two, which is December 1.
- Day one featured the longest reading since the 2009 reform—Ana Elisa Ribeiro’s “De próprio punho,” at 2,863 characters—used across five questions, and the second testing day is set for November 16.
