Enem (exam)

Enem (exam)

Enem is a non-mandatory Brazilian national exam, which evaluates high school education in Brazil. It stands for "Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio". Students' grades are used to generate their schools' scores, so that the Ministry of Education knows which are the best and worst schools in the country.

Every year, the press publishes a ranking of the best schools in Brazil, based on information given by Inep, a government institution.

The exam consists in two tests: a multiple-choice one about different subjects (Portuguese, History, Geography, Math, Physics, Chemistry and Biology) and a composition. The composition correction is different from the regular vestibular correction, as the student is required to fulfill some tasks, among them to write a human-rights-based composition.

Even if its purpose is to be a national evaluation exam, the student can use his or her score to be admitted at a university. However, not all universities accept it. Usually, private ones, such as PUC-Rio, a major private Brazilian university, accept Enem as an admission exam.
