The Portuguese language test, foreign language, arts, physical education, writing, history and geography, in the afternoon.
Please note that there is a minimum age requirement. To obtain this certification, you must be at least 15 years old on the day of the exam.
The high school leaving certificate can be obtained in the same way. In the morning, the test will have the disciplines of natural sciences and mathematics. While languages, writing and humanities take place in the afternoon. To take these tests, you must be at least 18 years old.
According to Inep, the opportunity is greater than just obtaining a certificate. The exam offers parameters for self-assessment. They can guide those enrolled in the continuity of training and placement in the job market.
It is worth mentioning that the Encceja results are also used as a national evaluation reference. It is possible, for example, that educational managers use this data to understand the educational scenario.
Thus, another objective is to prevent students from falling behind in training or even dropping out of school.
