Fuvest Annulls Math Question After Wrong Longitude on Exam

Overview

• Preparatory-course teachers flagged an inconsistency in math question 23 of Fuvest 2027 version 1 after Sunday’s first-phase exam when the enunciado labeled Porto de Galinhas as 35° East while the town actually lies near 35° West.
• Fuvest initially reminded candidates of the formal 48-hour window for filing resources against questions but then reviewed the item following the reports from teachers and course coordinators.
• On Monday the foundation issued a formal note acknowledging the geographic error and annulled the affected question, saying the wrong coordinate compromised the item’s interdisciplinary validity.
• All candidates will receive the point for the cancelled question and Fuvest said the mistake could have created doubt for students who saw a contradiction between the text and the map image.
• Fuvest announced a procedural change to send future mathematics questions that use material from other fields to specialists in every area involved, citing the curricular role of math under the BNCC.
