Overview
- The official 2025 writing guide from Inep, released in September, details five competencies worth 200 points each and explains a two‑reader evaluation with a third scorer or panel in case of major discrepancies.
- The document issues a stronger warning against using memorized, generic references, classifying them as non‑productive for topic development and potentially lowering scores in Competency II.
- Guidance favors specific, contextualized citations that advance the thesis, with examples highlighting authors such as Maria Beatriz Nascimento and Maria Firmina dos Reis, while cautioning against superficial uses like generic mentions of Utopia by Thomas More.
- The first ENEM 2025 test day, which includes the essay and 90 questions, is set for Sunday, Nov. 9, with more than 4.8 million registered candidates.
- Teachers predict possible prompts on youth overexposure to the internet, climate impacts in Brazil, teacher training challenges, and inclusion of people with disabilities in the labor market, while urging timed practice, careful structure, relevant repertoire, and rest in the final stretch.
