Each edition follows the calendar that Inep (Brazil’s national education research institute) publishes in an official notice, with exam days, times, answer key and results; the exam for incarcerated people has its own calendar, listed further down.
Enem 2026, Brazil’s national high school exam, will be held on two Sundays, Nov 8, 2026 and Nov 15, 2026, always on Brasília time. The first exam is in 23 days.
