Structure of the tests

The Ministry of Education recommends that candidates confirm the test location before leaving home, through the Participant Portal.
What to take
To participate in the test, candidates must bring an official document with a photo, whether physical or digital (e-Título, ID or CNH), and a transparent black pen. It is not permitted to answer the test with a pen of another color or that is not transparent.
It is not mandatory to carry the Registration Confirmation Card, but the MEC recommends that candidates have it with them. This is because the document lists information about the test location, chosen language (English or Spanish) and specialized assistance (if any).
You are also allowed to take:
snacks, water and non-alcoholic drinks, preferably kept in transparent packaging without labels;
religious articles and accessibility materials, as long as they can be inspected by inspectors;
face mask.
Any items that the candidate takes in addition to these must be placed under the wallet or inside the storage envelope. Electronic devices, including cell phones, must be turned off throughout the test.
Weapons are not allowed even in the envelope. If the candidate presents authorization to carry a weapon, they must inform the room leader and take the test in a separate location from the other participants.

Subway
To serve students, the Recife Metro will operate at its usual time, from 5am to 10pm, this Sunday (15th). Since August 2024, the metro has not operated on Sundays due to maintenance services.
If the student uses the South line, which passes through 10 stations such as Prazeres, Tancredo Neves and Largo da Paz, extra attention must be paid because the trains will operate on a single track, due to sleeper replacement services. As a result, waiting times at stations may be longer.
Transit
Agents and advisors from the Recife Urban Transport and Traffic Authority (CTTU) will be deployed on some of the city's main avenues to monitor the flow of vehicles and avoid detention.
CTTU recommends that candidates leave early to avoid delays. If you have any questions, you can seek free telephone support by calling 0800-081-1078.
Because of Enem, the activities of the Tourism and Leisure Cycle Lane will be suspended.
Policing
The Military Police will provide teams to work at the test sites. Police officers will work escorting and transporting evidence, providing security at test sites, and providing support on avenues and transport terminals.
