Starts this Sunday (9) the reapplication of the National High School Exam (Enem) 2021.
The new round of the exam, which follows on Sunday (16), is aimed at those who were enrolled in the regular Enem, but had their application impaired in some way. People deprived of liberty or under a socio-educational measure that includes deprivation of liberty (Enem PPL) are also tested.
In this edition, candidates enrolled in Enem 2020 who were entitled to exemption from the registration fee and did not attend the exams of that year, take the exams. According to the rules of the exam, they would lose the right not to pay the fee, but due to the pandemic, by decision of the Federal Supreme Court (STF), these candidates had a new application deadline for Enem 2021 and exemption was again guaranteed.
According to the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research AnÃsio Teixeira (Inep), in all, more than 340,000 candidates are registered for the tests on January 9th and 16th. Of these, 54,231 are enrolled in the Enem PPL, which has been applied since 2010 by Inep, in partnership with the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, through the National Penitentiary Department (Depen).
In addition to them, there are 280,145 participants who had the guaranteed exemption rate. Added to them, according to Inep, are those enrolled in the reapplication, 6,986 participants who were harmed in some way in the regular application. Among them are the cases of students harmed by the Police Operation that took place in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro. Inep claims that all requests were approved.
The exam will be applied in 4,618 test locations, being 1,435 for Enem PPL, 2,249 for exempt participants who registered after a new opportunity and 934 for the reapplication of those who had the request accepted. Regarding the application team, there are 54,053 people involved, 10,470 for Enem PPL, 40,315 for those exempt from Enem 2020 and 3,268 for reapplication.
Measures against covid-19
Participants must pay attention to safety rules to avoid transmitting covid-19. The use of a face mask covering the nose and mouth is mandatory during all the tests.
The participant can take a bottle of liquid or gel alcohol. The product will also be available in all rooms. It is also allowed to wear transparent or semi-transparent gloves during the tests. All these equipment and personal hygiene items will be inspected. It is also recommended that each participant bring their own bottle of water for drinking.
In case of symptoms equivalent to covid-19, in the week before or on the day before the application, the orientation is for the applicant not to attend the place of tests.
As in regular Enem, participants will take four objective tests of 180 questions on two Sundays, 45 questions in each area of ​​knowledge: languages, humanities, natural sciences, in addition to the essay test.
The regular Enem was applied on November 21st and 28th, 2021, both in print and digital format. In all, more than 2.1 million candidates across the country took the tests.
The regular Enem and reapplication tests are comparable, since the questions are removed from the national item bank and also because the Enem uses, in the correction, the so-called item response theory. These factors allow candidates who have taken different exams to be evaluated according to the same criteria and to compete for places at universities.
Enem selects students for public higher education vacancies, through the Unified Selection System (Sisu), for scholarships in private institutions, through the University for All Program (ProUni), and serves as a parameter for the Student Financing Fund (Fies). The results can also be used to enter Portuguese educational institutions that have an agreement with Inep.
