ENEM Final Stretch: Experts Outline Rapid Reset Strategies and Parent Support for Day Two

Overview

• Clinician Roberta Cavalcante says the short gap between ENEM test days leaves many candidates mentally fatigued, anxious and at risk of reduced focus.
• She advises shifting from nonstop study to regulating mindset on the eve of day two, moving from a state of tension to calm presence.
• Recommended coping actions include breathing and body relaxation, scheduled short breaks, light regular exercise, moments of spirituality, hydration and balanced meals.
• Parents are urged to provide emotional safety rather than pressure, watching for red flags such as sleeplessness, headaches, appetite loss, irritability and statements like “I can’t take it anymore.”
• For targeted review, educators suggest revisiting past exams to spot patterns, prioritizing frequent topics and personal weak points, and managing time by starting with more accessible questions.
