Millions Set for Enem as Enhanced Security and AI App Roll Out

Overview

• The Enem starts Sunday, Nov. 8 with the second day on Nov. 15, and the Ministry of Education confirmed 5,051,345 candidates have their registrations finalized for the two‑day exam.
• Day one lasts 5 hours and 30 minutes and contains 90 multiple‑choice items across Linguagens and Ciências Humanas plus a redação that is graded by two evaluators and scored with Item Response Theory (TRI).
• Inep and the MEC say they overhauled pre‑testing and confidentiality procedures and use sealed item banks, an Ambiente Físico Integrado Seguro for assembly, encrypted transfer to a high‑security printer, Correios distribution with police escort, and other measures to reduce leaks.
• The free MEC Enem app offers simulados and an AI system that corrects redações in about one minute and has attracted more than one million registered users and over one million simulated tests, the ministry reports.
• States and cities are activating practical support for test‑takers, including free metro and bus rides, reception points with water and pens, and local transport to help millions reach exam sites on time, while the exam continues to serve as the main route to Sisu, Prouni, Fies and, since 2025, adult secondary certification.
