The abstention rate was 8,14%. The test answer key will be published by the Unicamp Permanent Entrance Exam Committee (Comvest) on November 9th and the list of those approved for the second phase on December 3rd.
The exam was administered between 13pm and 18pm in 31 cities in the State of São Paulo and in five capitals outside the State: Belo Horizonte, Brasília, Curitiba, Fortaleza and Salvador. The city of Piracicaba (SP) recorded the lowest abstention rate (4,71%).
Comvest coordinator, José Alves de Freitas Neto, points out that the process went smoothly. For the professor, the selection contributes to the appreciation of science in times of denial and brought important contemporary themes to the current context, such as gun ownership, extractivism, Brazilian biomes and transfeminism.
“We have the job of selecting students and we also have the beneficial effect, we believe, that by bringing these themes and these discussions we are legitimizing the school practices provided for in the legislation, in the BNCC [Base Nacional Comum Curricular] and so on. It is a great satisfaction to carry out the first phase, opening the season for entrance exams and major national exams”, he analyzes.
Neto also highlighted the entrance exam's tradition of evaluating students with clear criteria, including scientific knowledge, literary production, mastery of languages, artistic, historical and social knowledge.

“We strive for a diversity of themes and a diversity of genres explored. We had cartoons, graphics, scientific diagrams, photographs, plastic arts productions, an infinity of genres that are mobilized to explore themes based on school knowledge, since we have a curricular commitment to the high school stage, but we also have a commitment with the immersion of this test with the contemporary scenario”, he points out.
