STJ - Analista Judiciário exam-day guide
STJ - Analista Judiciário · Prepare for the day ahead.
Your checklist
Official photo ID
Bring the original, currently valid photo ID required by the notice (commonly a national ID card or driver's license). A photocopy or expired document is usually refused. Confirm with the provider which documents are accepted before exam day.
Printed confirmation / registration card
Carry the registration confirmation showing your name, CPF, exam location and, if applicable, your candidate number. Keep a digital copy on your phone as backup, but assume a printed copy may be requested.
Exam location and room confirmed
Re-check the official notice or provider portal for the exact building, room and entry gate. Locations can change; verify the day before and again on the morning of the exam.
Black or blue ballpoint pens (transparent body)
Bring at least two working pens of the type the notice requires, commonly transparent-barrel ballpoint pens. Confirm the exact color and type with the provider's rules.
Transparent container for snacks and water
Food and drink, if allowed, typically must be in transparent packaging with labels removed. Check the notice for what is permitted in your room.
Watch without smart features
Many rooms have no visible clock and phones must be off, so a simple analog or non-smart digital watch is useful. Confirm whether watches are permitted.
Transport plan and backup route
Plan to arrive well before the gates close, with a backup route and a note of the nearest public transport. Aim for at least 60 minutes of buffer; late arrivals are commonly barred.
Phone powered off and stored as instructed
Expect phones and electronic devices to be switched off and placed in a designated envelope or bag. Do not keep a phone on your person during the test.
Review the answer-sheet instructions
Read the cover instructions on the answer sheet before starting: filling method, signature line and any identification field. Marking errors are hard to correct later.
Strategy for the multiple-choice sections
Decide in advance how to handle questions you cannot answer, since guessing rules and penalties vary by exam. Confirm the scoring rule with the provider rather than assuming there is no penalty.
Strategy for the discursive/writing section
Plan a short outline, watch the time, and keep the handwriting legible. Drafting in the answer booklet and crossing out can cost points; check the notice for whether a draft sheet is provided.
Sleep, food and medication routine
Keep the night before normal: light dinner, no new foods, and any regular medication packed. Avoid last-minute all-night study, which usually costs more than it gains.
Plan the day
Confirm the exam location, room and entry time from the official notice. Print the confirmation and ID documents. Prepare the transparent pen and snack kit, and do a dry run of the route if you are unfamiliar with the area.
Switch from learning new content to reviewing: skim your own summary sheets, key statutes and formulas, and the most common question patterns. Stop studying new topics that you have not seen before.
Do one timed practice set under exam conditions, then review only the errors. Adjust your time allocation per section based on the result.
Re-check the provider portal for any last-minute changes to location, schedule or rules. Lay out ID, printed confirmation, pens and clothing the night before so nothing is forgotten in the morning.
Keep study light: a final pass over summaries and the writing-section structure, then stop early. Eat a normal dinner, set two alarms, and aim for a full night's sleep.
Eat a normal breakfast, leave with a large time buffer, and arrive at the site early. Keep your phone off or silent and out of use once inside the building.
Follow staff instructions for ID checks and device storage. Find your seat, check that your answer sheet matches your name and number, and read the cover instructions before the start signal.
Start with the discursive or writing section if it is time-limited, or with the multiple-choice section if that matches your practice; either way, set checkpoints. Answer the easier questions first, mark doubtful ones, and transfer answers to the sheet as you go rather than at the end.
Confirm every answer is transferred and legible, check that no question is left blank if guessing is allowed, and verify your signature and identification fields. Do not leave early unless you have verified the whole sheet.
Rules to check
Bring the original photo ID required by the notice; copies and expired documents are commonly refused. Confirm the accepted documents with the provider before exam day.
Electronic devices must be switched off and stored as instructed. Keeping a phone or smart device on your person during the test can lead to disqualification.
Do not communicate with other candidates during the test, and do not bring notes, books or unauthorized material into the room. Follow staff directions at all times.
Arrive before the gate-closing time; late candidates are typically not admitted. Confirm the exact entry and closing times with the provider.
Breaks and leaving the room are usually restricted and may require an escort. Check the notice for the specific rules on water, snacks and restroom use.
Scoring rules, including whether wrong answers are penalized and how the discursive section is graded, vary by exam. Confirm the applicable rule with the provider instead of guessing.
Follow the answer-sheet filling instructions exactly, including pen type, marking method and signature. Answers marked outside the specified format may not be counted.
Keep the exam booklet and answer sheet until the end of the permitted period and hand them in as instructed; removing them may be treated as a violation.
