Enem Second Day Underway for 5 Million Candidates

Serving as the gate to university programs for millions, the exam includes a scheduled reapplication process for candidates affected by earlier outages.

Overview

  • The second day of Enem ran on Sunday, Nov. 15, with 5,051,345 confirmed registrations and a five-hour session of 90 objective questions from 13:30 to 18:30 Brasília time.
  • The nationwide operation covers 1,901 municipalities, 14,800 test sites, 184,000 rooms and about 600,000 staff mobilized to enforce uniform schedules and rules.
  • Inep rules require an original photo ID shown in official apps when digital, a black-ink transparent ballpoint pen for the optical answer sheet and all electronic devices to be switched off and sealed in the provided envelope or risk elimination.
  • Candidates who were affected by disruptions on the first day can request reaplication on the Página do Participante from Nov. 16 to Nov. 20 and, if approved, will sit the makeup exams on Dec. 15–16.
  • Scores are computed with the item response theory (TRI) rather than raw counts, official answer keys are to be published within the institute’s ten-business-day window (the government has cited Nov. 20 while some reports noted later dates) and final individual results are expected in January 2027.
