CNU BLOCO 09 (REGULAÇÃO) - Análise detalhada (+ Explicação das MATÉRIAS)

Summary

Professor Ricardo Barrios discusses the intricacies of preparing for mid-level positions in a public competition. He focuses on two key blocks: block eight (technical health courses) and block nine (technical regulation positions), offering advice on how to navigate the differences between them. He emphasizes the advantage of technical courses, such as in mining, due to fewer competitive candidates. He also highlights the importance of focusing on specific subjects like Portuguese, law, and mathematics, with an emphasis on doing well in the discursive test, as it plays a crucial role in differentiating candidates.

Takeaways

• 😀 Focus on technical positions: If you have a technical course, prioritize positions that require specific technical skills (e.g., mining, health) as fewer people are competing for them.
• 😀 Block 8 vs Block 9: Block 8 is focused on health-related technical courses, while Block 9 targets secondary-level technician positions, especially in fields like mining.
• 😀 Notice and cut-off: Pay attention to the specific notice and the requirements for each position, as the competition for technical roles is less fierce, leading to potentially lower cut-off grades.
• 😀 Common subjects: Both Block 8 and Block 9 share subjects like Portuguese, Brazilian reality, notions of law (administrative and constitutional law), and mathematics.
• 😀 Regulation subject: The regulation section of Block 9 is relatively short and manageable, focusing on regulatory agencies and related topics, making it a cost-effective area to study.
• 😀 Test structure: The objective test will have 78 questions, with a significant portion (24 questions) dedicated to regulation, offering an advantage for students focusing on this subject.
• 😀 Math content: Compared to previous years, the math content for Block 9 is reduced, with only basic math topics covered (e.g., percentages, probability, and basic statistics).
• 😀 Discursive test importance: The discursive (essay) test is a critical factor in ranking, with two essay questions worth 15 points each. A good performance in the essay can make up for differences in objective test scores.
• 😀 Candidate selection: The number of candidates selected for the second phase is nine times the number of available positions, meaning the objective test won't be the deciding factor. The discursive test will be more crucial.
• 😀 Remuneration: Mid-level positions offer a good starting salary ranging from R$8,000 to R$9,000, making them an attractive option for those with the necessary qualifications.

Q & A

What are the main differences between Block 8 and Block 9 in terms of technical courses?

Block 8 focuses on technical courses in the health area, while Block 9 is geared towards secondary level positions and includes technical roles in areas like mining.

Why is it recommended to prioritize technical positions in Block 9?

Technical positions in Block 9 tend to have fewer competitive candidates, as there are fewer technicians compared to high school graduates. This results in lower cut-off grades due to less competition.

What are the common subjects shared between Block 8 and Block 9?

Both blocks share the subjects of Portuguese, Brazilian reality (geography), notions of law (administrative and constitutional law), and mathematics.

How does the regulation subject in Block 9 compare to other subjects in terms of difficulty?

The regulation subject is smaller in scope compared to administrative and constitutional law, and it is considered easier to study as it is more focused and less extensive.

What impact does the size of the regulation subject have on the exam?

The regulation subject, while smaller, has a large number of questions (24), making it a highly cost-effective subject to study, especially for beginners. This increases the chances of scoring well in this area.

What is the importance of the discursive test in the CNU exam?

The discursive test is crucial as it carries significant weight in the overall score. The difference in scores between candidates can be minimized or changed based on performance in the essay section.

How do titles affect the selection process for these mid-level positions?

Titles have minimal impact on the final score, as they can only contribute a maximum of two points. Therefore, focusing on preparing well for the objective and discursive tests is far more important.

What is the expected cut-off score for mid-level positions in this competition?

The cut-off score is expected to be high, as the exam includes relatively easier subjects compared to previous years, leading to higher competition and higher scores in the objective and discursive tests.

What math topics are covered in the CNU exam for mid-level positions?

The math topics include basic concepts like sets, numerical sets, measurements, ratios, percentages, simple interest, probability, and basic statistics. The level is equivalent to 7th to 9th grade math.

What are the key components of the regulation subject in Block 9?

The regulation subject covers the role of the state in regulation, including public goods, externalities, information asymmetry, and the functions of regulatory agencies. It focuses on regulatory practices and laws related to regulatory agencies.
