Concurso Magistrados MPF exam-day guide
Concurso Magistrados MPF · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID
Bring the original document stated in the official edital (typically a photo ID such as RG or another official document with photo). Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted before the exam.
Printed enrollment confirmation / cartão de confirmação
Print and carry the card showing your registration number, exam location, room, and time. Confirm with the provider whether a printed version is required or if a digital copy suffices.
Proof of payment of the registration fee (if applicable)
Keep the receipt or proof of exemption with you in case of any question at the venue. Confirm with the provider whether this is required on exam day.
Black or blue ballpoint pen (transparent body, if required)
Bring at least two working pens. Confirm with the provider the exact pen specification permitted (some exams require a transparent pen).
Transparent water bottle
Stay hydrated; many venues only allow transparent, unlabeled bottles. Confirm with the provider whether water is permitted in the exam room.
Printed copy of the official edital (key excerpts)
Keep a copy of the exam schedule, allowed/forbidden items, and scoring rules so you can check any doubt without needing internet access.
Small snacks for before/after the exam
Eat lightly before entering; keep snacks outside the exam room unless the provider allows them inside. Confirm with the provider the rules on food in the room.
Watch (non-smart, if permitted)
A simple analog or digital watch helps you pace yourself if the room clock is not visible. Confirm with the provider whether watches are allowed and which types are prohibited.
Plan your route and arrival time
Reconnoiter the location in advance and plan to arrive well before the gates close. Confirm with the provider the exact access time and late-arrival policy.
Leave prohibited items at home or in the car
Smartphones, smartwatches, headphones, and electronic devices are typically forbidden in the exam room. Confirm with the provider the full list of prohibited items and where to store them.
Review your study summary / error log
Bring a concise one-page summary of your weak points to review in the final minutes before entering. Do not bring full textbooks into the room.
Rest and sleep plan for the night before
Prioritize sleep over last-minute cramming; fatigue is a bigger risk than a missing detail. No provider confirmation needed.
Plan the day
Do a light review of high-yield topics and your error log; stop learning new material. Confirm the exam location, room, and start time from the official confirmation card. Prepare your documents and pen the night before.
Do one timed practice set or a condensed mock under exam conditions, then review only the mistakes. Check transport options and estimate travel time, including a buffer for delays.
Pack your bag: ID, confirmation card, pens, water, snacks, and printed edital excerpts. Confirm the venue's opening time and the late-arrival rule with the provider. Go to bed at a reasonable hour; avoid heavy study.
Eat a normal breakfast, hydrate moderately, and arrive early. Re-read your one-page summary. Leave all electronic devices outside the exam room as instructed. Use the restroom before entering the room.
Read the instructions and the scoring rules first. Do a quick pass to answer the questions you know, then return to harder ones. Track time against the number of questions; leave time to transfer answers to the answer sheet and to check that every item is marked.
Rules to check
Bring the exact original ID document required by the edital; a copy or digital version may not be accepted. Confirm with the provider which documents are valid.
Arrive before the gate closes; late candidates are commonly barred from entering after the exam starts. Confirm with the provider the exact late-arrival and gate-closing policy.
Electronic devices (phones, smartwatches, headphones) must be turned off and stored outside the exam room as instructed. Confirm with the provider the full prohibited-items list and storage rules.
Follow the invigilator's instructions on filling in the answer sheet, including the correct marking method and any identification fields; errors in identification can invalidate your answers.
Breaks and restroom use are typically limited and escorted; raise your hand and follow the invigilator's procedure. Confirm with the provider whether restroom breaks are allowed during the exam.
Do not communicate with other candidates or look at their papers; any suspicion of misconduct can lead to disqualification. Confirm with the provider the conduct rules and consequences.
Scoring and tie-breaking rules are set in the edital; read them in advance so you know whether to prioritize certain sections. Confirm with the provider the exact scoring and tie-break criteria.
Keep the answer sheet clean and do not make extraneous marks; follow the invigilator's instructions on correcting mistakes. Confirm with the provider the rules on answer-sheet corrections.
