ENADE Sistemas de Informação exam-day guide
ENADE Sistemas de Informação · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID
Bring the original, valid photo identification document. Confirm with the provider which document types are accepted and whether a digital version is allowed.
Printed or digital proof of registration (cartão de confirmação)
Have your registration confirmation showing your name, course, and test location. Confirm with the provider whether a printed copy is required.
Black or blue ballpoint pen (transparent body)
Bring more than one. Some administrations require a transparent-bodied pen; confirm with the provider whether this is enforced.
Know your test location and arrival time
Recheck the address and gate-opening/closing times on your confirmation. Arrive early to allow for identification checks and room finding.
Review the answer-sheet (cartão-resposta) filling rules
Know that answers are usually marked by filling the bubble completely with dark ink and that erasures or stray marks may invalidate items. Confirm exact instructions with the provider.
Confirm the scoring format
Understand whether the exam uses the ENEM-style item response theory (IRT) scoring or another method, and whether blank answers are penalized. This affects guessing strategy; confirm with the provider.
Leave prohibited electronics at home
Do not bring phones, smartwatches, or other electronic devices into the room; they are typically collected or must be turned off and stored. Confirm the specific policy with the provider.
Plan transport and a light snack/water
Arrange transport in advance and check whether food and drink are permitted in the room. Confirm with the provider.
Rest and sleep well the night before
Aim for a normal night's sleep; avoid last-minute cramming that reduces alertness.
Know the test duration and section structure
Review the number of questions, whether the exam is objective only or includes a discursive (essay) section, and the total time allowed. Confirm with the provider.
Plan the day
Review the exam structure, the answer-sheet rules, and your strongest topics. Do light review of formulas and key concepts; avoid learning new material. Confirm your test location, arrival time, and required documents.
Pack your ID, confirmation, pens, and any permitted items. Recheck transport and set multiple alarms. Get a full night's sleep; do not study late.
Eat a normal breakfast, leave early, and arrive at the location with time to spare. Double-check that prohibited electronics are left behind or stored as instructed.
Read the instructions carefully, budget time across sections, and answer easier questions first. Fill the answer sheet carefully and completely, and reserve time to transfer answers and check for omissions.
Rules to check
Bring the original valid photo ID required by the provider; confirm with the provider which documents are accepted.
Follow the provider's rules on electronic devices; phones and smartwatches are typically prohibited in the testing room. Confirm the exact policy with the provider.
Arrive by the stated gate-closing time; late arrivals are generally not admitted. Confirm the exact times with the provider.
Mark answers exactly as instructed on the answer sheet; unclear or double marks may be scored as wrong. Confirm the marking rules with the provider.
Understand the scoring method before guessing, since some systems penalize or do not reward random guessing. Confirm with the provider whether blank answers are penalized.
Follow all instructions from proctors regarding breaks, restroom use, and leaving the room; confirm the break policy with the provider.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the test or attempt to use unauthorized materials; such conduct may lead to disqualification. Confirm the specific consequences with the provider.
