Enem 2026 Set for Nov. 8 and 15 With First-Time Saeb Integration

Overview

• The two-day exam will be held on Sunday, Nov. 8 and Sunday, Nov. 15, with the first day lasting five hours and 30 minutes and combining 90 multiple‑choice questions on languages and human sciences plus a written essay.
• Inep and MEC published strict test‑day rules: gates open and close on a fixed schedule, candidates must show photo ID, use only transparent black‑ink pens, and keep electronic devices off or face elimination.
• For the first time Enem scores will feed Saeb and produce school‑level indicators expected in 2027, meaning results will be used both for university access and to evaluate high‑school learning by school.
• Official data show more than 5 million confirmed participants nationwide, a rise driven in part by automatic registration of many public‑school concluding students and by state profiles published on the Inep panel.
• Teachers predict the essay will likely continue to focus on social minorities and vulnerability; they advise reading the prompt early, planning before writing, reserving about an hour for the essay, and leaving time to review.
