The Exam

Enem evaluates the students' academic performance at the end of the educação básica. Public and private educational institutions use the test to select students: the results are used as a single or complementary criterion of selective processes, in addition to serving as a parameter for access to government aids, such as the Student Fund (Fies).

The individual exam results can also be used in selective processes of Portuguese institutions that have an agreement with Inep. The agreements guarantee easy access to the grades of Brazilian students interested in pursuing higher education in Portugal.
