Second day of the Enem 2023 test takes place this Sunday (12); see schedule

Students from all over Brazil take this Sunday (12) the second day of the National High School Exam (Enem), the largest entrance exam in the country and gateway to national and international higher education institutions.

On the second day of the exam, participants will have five hours – from 1:30 pm to 6:30 pm – to answer 90 multiple choice questions the following areas of knowledge:

• Mathematics and its Technologies (Mathematics)
• Natural Sciences and their Technologies (Chemistry, Physics and Biology)

It is worth remembering that at this stage there is no writing only multiple choice questions – the participant will choose and mark, with a black pen, one of the five alternatives for each question.

The gates to the places where each candidate will take the test open at 12pm and close, punctually, at 1pm . Candidates who are unable to arrive before the gates close will not be able to take the test.

When will the Enem 2023 answer sheet be released?

The test answer sheet will be published on November 24th . The results will be published on the day January 16, 2024 .

What to do with notes

Enem scores can be used in the Unified Selection System (Sisu) and in the University for All Program (ProUni).

Sisu is the platform where public higher education institutions offer places for their courses, with different required cutoff scores. Candidates who obtained a grade greater than zero in the essay and those who are not in the training modality can register for Sisu.

ProUni works in a similar way to Sisu, but it is the system that offers scholarships at private higher education institutions.

Anyone selected for both programs must choose between one of them, as it is not permitted to obtain the ProUni scholarship while enrolled at a public higher education institution.

The candidate can also opt for the Student Financing Fund (Fies), which does not require a minimum score to participate. This is a loan made by the federal government to students who cannot pay for studies at private universities in Brazil.

Upon completing the course, in the Fies modality, the student must pay the debt, under a series of conditions made available by the government.

28.1% abstention

The first day of testing had 28.1% abstention of candidates registered for the exam, a level stable to that observed last year (28.3%).

The state with the highest abstention was Amazonas, with 44%. In second place, Acre, with 33.2%. Sergipe was the state with the fewest absentees, being below average (24.6%). São Paulo, which was concerned about schools where there was a lack of energy, had 26% of absentees.

3,939,242 registrations were confirmed for Enem 2023. Compared to last year’s data, 2023 had 13.1% more confirmed registrations and 0.2% fewer abstentions.

Test news

According to the Minister of Education, Camilo Santana, more than 60% of the people registered for the exam are women. Furthermore, for the first time, the largest number of candidates are from the Northeast of the country.

He also highlighted that, for the first time in 25 years, the test was in color: “To make it easier for color blind people, everything was studied by the team”. Furthermore, it was also the first time that the response card was expanded to include people with visual impairments.
