Why It Matters
Enem 2026 is held over two days, the first focusing on languages, humanities and writing, and the second on mathematics and natural sciences.
Luiz said that he had to divide his study time with another course and ended up leaving preparation for Enem on the back burner. Therefore, he arrived at the day of the test without much confidence in the result.
"My expectations are not good. My preparation was very fluctuating", reported the candidate.
Despite the difficulties, Luiz maintains his goal of entering higher education and hopes to achieve a good grade in his essay. "It's the dream I'm fighting for. I'm going to make it come true," he said.
In Pará, around 300 thousand people signed up for Enem 2026, according to the Ministry of Education (MEC). On this first day, participants answer questions about languages and human sciences, in addition to producing an essay. The second day of tests will be on November 15th, with mathematics and natural science questions.
