4 FORMAS DE ENTRAR NA FACULDADE PÚBLICA | Como conseguir uma vaga na faculdade federal ou estadual

Summary

In this video, Robert Marley introduces four main ways to secure a spot in a public university in Brazil, whether federal or state-funded. The first method discussed is the ENEM exam, followed by the Sisu system for admissions. He also explains traditional university entrance exams (vestibulares), specific skill tests (e.g., for arts and music programs), and the PA (seriate evaluation process), which fragments the selection process across multiple years of high school. The video highlights the benefits of these pathways and provides guidance for prospective students navigating the university entrance system in Brazil.

Takeaways

• 😀 The video discusses four main ways to enter a public university in Brazil, focusing on federal and state institutions.
• 😀 ENEM (National High School Exam) is one of the most common ways to enter university, and it assesses knowledge gained throughout high school.
• 😀 After taking the ENEM, students use their scores to apply through Sisu (Unified Selection System) for spots in public universities.
• 😀 The Vestibular (traditional university entrance exam) is another route, which is specific to each university and requires passing a general or specialized exam.
• 😀 Some universities require additional tests, such as specific skills assessments, for certain courses like performing arts or music.
• 😀 The 'teste de habilidade específica' (specific skills test) evaluates practical skills, such as performing a monologue or playing an instrument.
• 😀 Students interested in courses like arts or music may need to present a practical performance or test their knowledge in front of a panel of specialists.
• 😀 Some universities use a system called 'processo de avaliação seriada' (serial assessment process), where students are evaluated progressively during their high school years.
• 😀 The PA system allows students to take exams in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd years of high school, with each year’s performance contributing to their chances of admission.
• 😀 Not all universities participate in the PA system, so it's important to research whether the universities students are interested in use this method of selection.

Q & A

What are the main ways to enter a public university in Brazil?

The four main ways to enter a public university in Brazil are through the ENEM (National High School Exam), traditional university vestibular exams, specific skills tests, and the Serial Evaluation Process (PAES).

What is the ENEM, and how does it help students gain access to universities?

The ENEM is a national exam that assesses knowledge acquired during high school. After taking the exam, students can use their scores to apply for spots in public universities through the Sisu system.

What is Sisu, and how does it work?

Sisu is a federal program that facilitates access to public universities in Brazil. It allows students to apply for university spots based on their ENEM scores.

How does a traditional vestibular exam differ from the ENEM?

A traditional vestibular is a university-specific exam that tests knowledge relevant to the course a student wants to pursue. Unlike the ENEM, it is not a nationwide exam and is organized individually by each university.

How can students prepare for a vestibular exam?

Students can prepare for a vestibular exam by accessing previous exam papers and focusing their studies on the subjects and format specific to the university they wish to apply to.

What is the Test of Specific Skills (PH), and which courses require it?

The Test of Specific Skills (PH) is a practical exam required by certain university courses, such as performing arts and music, where students must demonstrate their practical abilities in front of a judging panel.

What are some examples of how the Test of Specific Skills works?

For courses like Performing Arts or Music, students must perform practical tasks, such as presenting a monologue or playing an instrument, which are evaluated by experts to assess their aptitude for the course.

What is the Serial Evaluation Process (PAES), and how does it work?

The PAES is a fragmented selection process that spans the three years of high school. Students are evaluated at the end of each year based on the content they've learned, leading to a potential university spot if they perform well throughout the process.

What advantages does the Serial Evaluation Process offer over other entrance exams?

The PAES is beneficial for students who may struggle with the ENEM or traditional vestibular exams. It offers a more gradual and segmented approach to university admission, making it less stressful for those who prefer a long-term evaluation.

Are all universities in Brazil part of the PAES system?

No, not all universities participate in the PAES. The system is adopted by a growing number of universities, but it’s essential for students to check if the universities they are interested in are part of this system.
