SEFAZ-MG Auditor Fiscal exam-day guide
SEFAZ-MG Auditor Fiscal · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID (original document)
Bring the original photo identification document required by the notice you registered under. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted (for example, whether a digital ID or a recently expired document is allowed) and whether a copy is acceptable - do not assume.
Printed registration confirmation / candidate card
Print the confirmation showing your registration number, CPF, chosen city and vacancy/position. Confirm with the provider whether a printed version is mandatory or whether a digital copy on your phone is accepted.
Black or blue ballpoint pen (two or more)
Objective answer sheets are usually filled with dark ink and machine-read. Bring at least two working pens of the same color and test them beforehand. Confirm with the provider the exact color and whether pencil/eraser is permitted.
Transparent or clear bag / no opaque backpack
Many Brazilian exam providers require a transparent bag or restrict what may be taken to the desk. Confirm with the provider the exact rule on bags and on where personal belongings must be left.
Water in a transparent, label-free bottle (check rule)
Some providers allow a clear bottle with the label removed; others prohibit drinks at the desk. Confirm with the provider before relying on this.
Watch (non-smart, analogue or simple digital)
Exam rooms often lack a visible clock, and phones must be off. A simple wristwatch helps you pace the objective section. Confirm with the provider whether watches are allowed and whether smartwatches are banned.
Printed copy of the official notice and your personal schedule
Keep the notice sections on schedule, permitted items, identification and scoring with you until entry. Do not bring annotated study material into the room.
Know the exact address and arrival time
Visit or map the venue in advance, plan the route and add a buffer for traffic and entry queues. Arrive well before the gates close; confirm with the provider the exact closing time for entry.
Leave phone and electronics off and stored
Phones, smartwatches, earbuds and any other electronic device must be switched off and placed where instructed before the test begins. Confirm with the provider how devices are collected or stored.
Bring a snack and water for after the test
Keep food outside the exam room unless the provider explicitly allows it. Plan for a long session and for the trip home.
Documents for special assistance, if applicable
If you requested a special condition (extra time, accessible room, lactation room, religious accommodation), bring the documentation the notice requires and confirm approval with the provider in advance.
Sleep, medication and a light meal plan
Prepare any regular medication and a light, familiar meal for before the test. Avoid new foods or heavy meals that could affect concentration during a multi-hour session.
Plan the day
Re-read the notice sections on schedule, permitted and prohibited items, identification, scoring and tie-breaking. Confirm your venue address and the gate-closing time with the provider. Do a final review of high-yield summaries and your own error log rather than new material. Prepare the checklist items and pack them the night before. Adjust sleep so you wake at the time you will need on exam day.
Stop heavy studying. Review only condensed notes, formula sheets and recurring mistakes for a couple of hours at most. Lay out ID, printed confirmation, pens, watch, transparent bag and clothing. Check transport options and, if possible, do a dry run to the venue or confirm the route and travel time. Eat a normal meal, avoid alcohol, and go to bed at a reasonable hour. Do not start new topics or attempt full mock exams.
Eat a light breakfast and hydrate moderately. Leave with a large time buffer and arrive early; expect queues at entry and ID checks. Keep your phone off and stored as instructed. Use the waiting time for calm recall of your exam strategy - question order, time per item and when to skip - not for cramming. Locate the restrooms before entering the room.
Read the instructions and check the answer sheet format before starting. Fill in identification data carefully and confirm the answer-sheet version. Work in passes: answer the questions you know first, mark doubtful ones, and return to them. Track time against a target pace and reserve the final minutes for transferring answers and checking that no item is blank. For the discursive section, outline before writing, keep handwriting legible and stay within the line limits. Do not leave early unless you have verified every answer is transferred.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo identification required by the notice and present it when asked. The name and data must match your registration. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted and whether a copy or digital version is allowed - do not rely on an assumption.
Electronic devices such as phones, smartwatches and earbuds must be switched off and stored as instructed before the test begins. Keeping a device on or accessible during the test can lead to elimination; confirm with the provider the exact handling rule.
Bring only the items the notice permits at the desk. Books, notes, printed study material and any unauthorized aids are prohibited; confirm with the provider the full permitted-items list, including whether water, snacks or a watch are allowed.
Follow the invigilator's instructions on seating, starting, breaks and leaving the room. If you need to leave temporarily, do so only with authorization, and be aware that time may not be extended; confirm with the provider the policy on restroom breaks and time compensation.
Answer sheets are machine-read: fill in the intended option clearly, avoid stray marks, and make sure the identification fields and answer-sheet version are correct. Scoring and any penalty for multiple marks or blank items follow the notice - confirm with the provider rather than guessing.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the test, do not look at others' papers and do not attempt to copy or share answers. Suspected fraud or irregular conduct is handled under the notice's disciplinary rules, which can include elimination.
The test has a fixed duration and entry closes at a set time. Late arrival generally means exclusion, and no extra time is granted for lateness; confirm with the provider the exact gate-closing time and the duration of each section.
Scoring, minimum-score thresholds, tie-breaking and the use of the discursive section are defined in the notice. Read those rules before exam day so you can prioritize sections during the test; confirm any detail you are unsure about with the provider.
