Enem 2026: Educators suggest study strategies and potential essay themes

As the 2026 Enem (Exame Nacional do Ensino Médio) approaches, educators are offering guidance on preparation strategies and potential essay themes. Experts suggest that instead of merely guessing specific topics, students should focus on broader social tensions and recurring issues that drive public debate.

Educators from COC and Colégio Espírito Santo identified artificial intelligence as a significant potential theme for the essay portion, noting its impact on classroom learning and systemic biases.

With approximately two months remaining before the exam, teachers recommend that students prioritize high-yield study methods. This includes focusing on recurring subjects, practicing with mock exams, and concentrating on foundational mathematics topics such as fractions, decimals, and proportions to secure points in easy and medium-difficulty questions.
