Fuvest 2027 First Phase Completed Nationwide With New 80‑Question Format

Overview

• Fuvest held the first phase on Nov. 1, 2026, with 106,165 registered candidates and an abstenção of 6.4 percent, the lowest in Fuvest history.
• The exam kept a five‑hour duration but cut multiple‑choice items from 90 to 80 to prioritize interdisciplinary, multi‑source questions that demand sustained reading and integration of ideas.
• Fuvest published the official gabarito the evening of the test and will release the list of candidates called to the second phase and their test locations on Nov. 23.
• Fortaleza hosted the Fuvest first phase for the first time with 1,640 entrants, while 93,828 registrants compete for 8,147 USP places and 12,337 took the test as treineiros.
• Students reported dense, long texts that made the five hours feel like an endurance test and experts say the format rewards reasoning across disciplines, which could shift how applicants prepare for December’s second phase and the competency exams.
