Enem 2026 preparation strategies for upcoming exams

With the 2026 National High School Exam (Enem) scheduled for November 8 and 15, candidates are entering a critical preparation phase. Experts suggest that success depends on quality of study rather than simply increasing hours.

Rafaela Quintella, a coordinator at Colégio e Curso Pensi, emphasizes that students should focus on strategic preparation, including mastering the exam structure and time management. Key recommendations include solving previous exam papers to identify recurring themes and developing skills in interpretation and agility.

Students are advised to create personalized study schedules that address individual strengths and weaknesses while considering the specific subject weights used by the Unified Selection System (Sisu). Regular practice of the essay component is also highlighted as a priority for effective preparation.
