FUVEST

The first part consists of a 90 multiple–choice questions test, taken by all applicants (nicknamed as vestibulandos in Portuguese) in late November, or early December.

Every candidate who has obtained a score equal to or higher than the Cutoff Mark automatically qualifies to advance to the second part.

The remaining required exams (on the third day of this second part) differ depending on the candidate's intended major, usually focusing on more difficult or specific topics.

For example, prospective Engineering majors are tested in Math, Physics and Chemistry, while Law School applicants have to take History, Geography and Math exams, and Medical School candidates are examined in Physics, Chemistry and Biology.

Some majors also require specific exams: applicants for Architecture, Design and Arts must attend for such tests.

[1] The first part, scheduled for November 22,[2] will be the same as before, but the points obtained by the candidate will no longer be taken into consideration for his final score.
