What time does Enem end?
On the first day of Enem (8), candidates have until 7pm to take the test, totaling 5 hours and 30 minutes. On the second day (15), the test lasts until 6:30 pm, lasting a maximum of 5 hours.
Leaving the room is permitted after 3:30 pm, but without the question book.
It is only possible to leave the room with the notebook in hand 30 minutes before the end of the exam: therefore, after 6:30 pm on the first day and after 6 pm on the second.
🕑 Pay attention to the time zone
If you live or will take the test in municipalities in Amazonas, Roraima, Rondônia, Mato Grosso or Mato Grosso do Sul, local time is one hour behind Brasília time. Thus, the exam starts at 12:30 pm local time.
In the case of Acre, a state with two hours less, the test will be administered at 11:30 am local time.
👉🏻 Check the time zone of the municipality in which you will take the test, especially if it is not the same time zone in which you live. In some cases, there may be a time difference between locations and this may cause confusion.
