Having a good testing strategy is essential to performing well on the national high school exam; See tips
summary
Teachers recommend organizing the solution of Day 2 of Enem 2025 into groups of questions, giving priority to mathematics and, if necessary, leaving natural sciences until the end, highlighting the importance of having a good strategy for performance in the test.
What many students fear, the second part of the 2025 national secondary school exam will be held next Sunday, the 16th of this month. On the second day of the competition, candidates face questions in mathematics and natural sciences. To ensure excellent performance at this stage, a good testing strategy is essential.
In addition to helping with time management, five hours total, on the second day of the test, a test strategy helps reduce stress about questions, knowing which questions to answer first, and increases the chances of getting things right and passing.
As the exam approaches, Anglo Course General Manager, Victor Lemos, and Vestibular Strategy Educational Coordinator, Danielle Rees, provide valuable tips to help you strategize for the second day of exams. Let’s check it out?
1- Divide the test into blocks of questions
Victor recommends that the student organizes the questions into groups. Like him? Let’s look at an example:
- Ask 15 math questions;
- Then ask 15 questions in natural sciences;
- Next, solve 15 more math questions;
- Thus, alternating between regions.
“The suggestion is to diversify the blocks so that the student maintains attention and concentration throughout the exam, without overloading one area of knowledge. This helps to avoid mental fatigue during the exam,” explains the expert.
2- Reading strategy during the test
For Daniel, one way to save time when solving questions is to also start by reading the question command, moving to the alternatives and only then moving to the main text.
“The student better guides the reading and avoids getting lost in information that is not necessary for the answer,” advises the educational coordinator.

3- Interest in mathematics in particular
According to the General Director of the English Course, it is important for the candidate to be more interested in the subject of mathematics, as historically the grades for the subject in Enem tend to be the highest, approaching the maximum score (one thousand points).
In Enem 2024, for example, the maximum score obtained by participants who answered all questions correctly was about 962 points. “Therefore, it is strategic to prioritize mathematics when planning the test.”
4 – If necessary, leave the natural sciences for last
If a candidate has little time to solve many questions, Victor’s advice is to leave natural science questions, not mathematics questions, until the end.
He adds: “It is important to remember that the field of mathematics has greater weight in calculating the final grade, which is done through Item Response Theory (IRT).”
Day 2 of ENM 2025
The second part of Enem 2025 will be held next Sunday, the 16th of this month, in several cities across the country. Candidates face 45 questions in mathematics and 45 questions in natural sciences, over a period of five hours.
Last Sunday the 9th, the first day of the exam, candidates answered 45 questions in languages and 45 questions in humanities, in addition to producing an essay on the topic “Perspectives on Aging in Brazilian Society.”
In Belém, Ananandua and Maritoba (PA), this year’s edition will take place on November 30 and December 7, due to the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30), which will be held in the region, during the regular exam application period.
INM date is 2025
