Overview
- Inep confirmed first use of testlets on Nov. 9 in the Linguagens/Human Sciences tests, with five questions tied to a single long text by Ana Elisa Ribeiro.
- The institute says questions linked to one base text are independent of each other and remain compatible with the TRI scoring method used to calculate results.
- Officials signal expansion of the model to other areas in future editions, while for Nov. 16 mathematics and sciences Inep has not confirmed adoption, though some specialists expect it.
- Sunday’s session runs 1:30 p.m.–6:30 p.m. (gates 12:00–1:00 p.m.; exit without booklet from 3:30 p.m.) across more than 1,800 municipalities nationwide.
- Operational support includes free or reinforced public transport in places such as the Federal District and Salvador, a R$200 Pé‑de‑Meia bonus for attending both days paid after completion confirmation (Feb. 26–Mar. 5, 2026), and a reapplication window for disaster‑affected students (requests Nov. 17–21; exams Dec. 16–17).
