Técnico Legislativo - Câmara dos Deputados · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (original document)
Bring the original identity document with photo, as required in the exam notice. A photocopy or a photo on your phone is normally not accepted. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and whether a digital ID is valid.
Printed confirmation of registration / enrollment card
Print the registration confirmation or enrollment card if the notice requires it. Check whether the provider requires it printed or accepts a digital version. Confirm with the provider.
Black or blue ballpoint pen (at least two)
Bring more than one pen of the type allowed for filling the answer sheet. Confirm in the notice which color and type are permitted, since some exams require black ink only.
Transparent pencil case or no case at all
Many providers require transparent packaging for pens and pencils. Confirm with the provider whether a case is allowed and what it may contain.
Pencil and eraser (if allowed)
Some answer sheets require pencil marks. Check the notice for whether pencil and eraser are permitted. Confirm with the provider.
Printed copy of the exam notice (edital)
Keep a printed copy of the relevant sections of the notice: schedule, room opening time, allowed and prohibited items, and scoring rules. This helps resolve doubts on site without relying on your phone.
Water in a transparent bottle, if permitted
Bring water only if the notice allows it, preferably in a transparent bottle with the label removed. Confirm with the provider whether drinks are allowed in the room.
Plan your route and arrival time
Check the address on your registration confirmation and plan to arrive well before the gates close. Doors usually close at a fixed time and late candidates are not admitted. Confirm the exact cutoff time with the provider.
Leave prohibited items at home or in the car
Phones, smartwatches, headphones, and bags are commonly prohibited in the exam room. Do not rely on being able to store them on site. Confirm with the provider what is prohibited and whether storage is offered.
Read the answer sheet instructions carefully
Before answering, read the instructions on the answer sheet and the cover of the test booklet, including how to mark answers and how to fill in your identification.
Check the exam duration and break policy
Know how long the test lasts and whether there are authorized breaks, for example to use the restroom with an escort. Confirm with the provider.
Bring a snack only if the notice allows it
Some providers allow snacks outside the room during the test. Check the notice. Confirm with the provider.
Plan the day
Re-read the notice sections on schedule, location, allowed items, and scoring. Confirm the address and the exact time the gates close. Prepare your ID and the registration confirmation, and check that your ID is valid and not expired. Review your weakest topics with short, focused summaries rather than new material.
Do one timed practice set or a review of common question types under exam conditions. Review the scoring rules, including whether wrong answers are penalized, so you know when to guess. Check the weather forecast and plan your route and transport.
Pack your materials: ID, printed confirmation, pens, and anything else the notice allows. Lay out your clothes. Set two alarms. Avoid studying late; sleep is more valuable than one more review session. Do a light review of formulas or key facts only.
Eat a normal meal and leave early, with a margin for delays. Recheck that you have your ID and confirmation before leaving. Arrive at the site with time to spare, locate your room, and use the restroom before entering. Turn off your phone and store it as required before entering the room.
Read the instructions on the booklet and answer sheet first. Answer the easier questions first and mark difficult ones to return to. Watch the clock and reserve time to transfer answers to the answer sheet. Fill in the answer sheet carefully, following the instructions exactly. If wrong answers are penalized, guess only when you can eliminate options; otherwise leave it blank as the rules allow.
Stop answering new questions and confirm that every answer has been transferred correctly. Check your identification fields on the answer sheet. Do not change answers unless you are sure of the correction.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID required by the notice; photocopies and digital versions may not be accepted. Confirm with the provider which documents are valid.
Arrive before the time the gates close; late candidates are normally not admitted. Confirm the exact cutoff time with the provider.
Follow the rules on prohibited items: phones, smartwatches, and headphones are commonly banned in the room. Confirm with the provider whether any storage is available.
Follow the instructions of the examiners and proctors at all times, including seating and restroom procedures.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the test. Any attempt to copy or share answers may lead to disqualification under the notice.
Read the scoring rules in the notice, including whether wrong answers are penalized, and use that to decide when to guess.
Breaks, if any, are usually taken only with authorization and escort. Confirm with the provider.
Bring only what the notice allows; the provider may inspect materials and bags. Confirm with the provider what inspection procedures apply.
