Enem Second Day Begins for 5 Million Candidates

Overview

• The second day of Enem is being held Sunday, November 15, 2026, with 90 objective questions (45 mathematics and 45 sciences) administered from 13:30 to 18:30 Brasília time and gates open from 12:00 to 13:00 Brasília time.
• Inep lists 5,051,345 confirmed registrations nationwide while the first day, on November 8, recorded a preliminary 32% absentee rate and 4,359 eliminations, underlining the scale and strict enforcement of rules.
• Candidates must present an official photo ID physically or digitally through approved apps, use black ballpoint pens with transparent bodies, and store phones and other electronics switched off in sealed envelopes or face elimination if an alarm sounds.
• Requests for reaplicação must be submitted on the Página do Participante between 16 and 20 November and are accepted only for causes enumerated in the edital such as serious logistical failures, specified infectious diseases, or natural disasters with makeup exams set for 15–16 December.
• The testlet format used in 2025 and seen on day one may reappear, and because Enem uses Item Response Theory the raw number of correct answers does not directly translate to final scores which makes unofficial answer keys useful only for immediate feedback until Inep publishes the official gabaritos.
