Do they take Unified State Exam in Brazil too? - Anna Lisina

In Brazil, the exam for high school students or ENEM (Exame Nacional do Ensino Medio in Portuguese) was introduced in 1998. In 2009, the provisions of the exam were changed. ENEM is a non-mandatory standardised Brazilian exam administered by the Brazilian Federal Research Institute of the Ministry of Education (INEP), which developed and coordinates the test. The examination tests the knowledge of secondary school pupils in Brazil. The examination lasts between 5 and 5.5 hours.

Thus, we can say that this exam is the equivalent of our Unified State Exam (USE), which is taken in Russia after 11th grade. However, there are certainly differences in the formats for this exam.

The ENEM counts as an entrance test for admission to many universities in Brazil, as well as for the secondary school diploma.

Since 2009, ENEM has been used by higher education institutions to enrol students in undergraduate programmes.

ENEM structure

The ENEM exam consists of four tests, each with 45 multiple-choice questions, i.e. 180 questions with only a few options. Students are also required to write an essay.

The aim of this exam is to test students' knowledge in five main areas, namely science, mathematics, humanities, Portuguese and English or Spanish as a foreign language.

ENEM scoring

The examination is checked by two examiners independent of each other. Each assessor scores from 0 to 200 points in each of the five knowledge areas, for a total of 1,000 points.

The final grade corresponds to the arithmetic average of the scores given by the two assessors. If the difference between the two grades is too great, the essay is then tested by a third examiner.

In 2022, the ENEM exam will be held from 13 to 20 November. The cost of taking the exam in 2022 is 85 Brazilian reais (about 900 Russian roubles).

Thus, we can conclude that the Brazilian ENEM is very similar to the Russian USE, as the aim of such examinations is to gain admission to higher education.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Russia

"We are convinced that the only way to make the information space more stable, secure and predictable is through international cooperation. No country is capable of countering cross-border ICT threats on its own. There is a need to develop common rules of the game applicable to all, which would regulate the actions of states and their companies in the digital sphere. [...] The first step in this direction has already been taken with the adoption by the UN General Assembly in December 2024 and the signing in October 2025 of the UN Convention against Cybercrime, developed at Russia’s initiative. This is the first universal treaty in the field of international information security. Seventy-five countries have signed the document. We call on all countries to sign and ratify this Convention"

"International cooperation can help detect risks quicker, also exchange the results of research and coordinate the response measures. Without this coordination, the consequences of the global crisis could be heavier. [...] We are witnessing the world becoming more and more interconnected and interdependent. Every outbreak of infection in one region can be a potential threat globally. The experience shows us that the resilience of healthcare systems affects economic stability, the national security of states and public trust"

Xi Jinping

President of the People’s Republic of China

"As permanent members of the UN Security Council and important major countries in the world, China and Russia should take a strategic and long-term perspective, drive the development and revitalisation of our respective countries through comprehensive strategic coordination of even higher quality, and work to make the global governance system more just and reasonable"
