Student Preparing for Final Exams Seeks Advice Due to Household Chores

With the approach of the National High School Exam (Enem) 2026, the g1 portal has created a collection of videos containing guidance from teachers on topics frequently addressed in the assessment. The specialists detail concepts, point out common mistakes, and offer direction to students in the final preparation phase.

This material is part of the University Entrance project, a dedicated section of g1 aimed at candidates aspiring to enter higher education. The Enem 2026 exams are scheduled for November 8th and 15th.

Tip 1

Mathematics teacher Alexandre Kessler reviews the concepts of mean, mode, and median, emphasizing essential precautions when solving problems related to statistical measures. In the video, he pays special attention to the median, advising that the data be organized in ascending order and that the number of elements be checked before starting calculations.

Tip 2

Alexandre Kessler also addresses the topic of scale, which defines the proportion between the size of a drawing and its real dimension. The teacher emphasizes that questions on this subject have shown greater complexity in recent years. He clarifies that Enem has begun to require knowledge of this concept in problems involving area and volume, requiring candidates to adjust their calculations, using the square root for areas and the cube root for volumes.

Tip 3

To conclude, Alexandre Kessler focuses on quadratic functions. In the material, he demonstrates how to identify questions dealing with maximum and minimum values, indicating the concepts that require the most focus during resolution. Furthermore, the teacher offers practical advice for interpreting the statements, aiming to prevent habitual errors. According to him, understanding exactly what the question requests is crucial for selecting the appropriate solution approach.

Physiotherapy students developed a custom pediatric orthosis with the aim of improving the quality of life of a child under one year old. The boy, who suffers from peripheral neuropathy, is hospitalized at the Municipal Hospital of Araguaína, located in the north of the state of Tocantins.

João Pedro Sousa Costa, a 21-year-old university student, reported that the group, composed of eight students, is completing an internship at the hospital unit. During this period, they identified the need to create a specific device that would fit the patient's anatomy.

The students proposed using an orthosis for wrists and fingers to correct the limb's anatomy. Due to the long hospitalization period, the patient's arm muscles showed marked stiffness, causing the hand to tend to close and contract with great force. The students warned that if this condition was not prevented, it could lead to permanent muscle hardening, resulting in pain and limiting future movements.

This orthosis functions as a preventive measure against bone deformities, muscle contractions, and chronic motor dysfunctions. According to the students, it serves to gently stretch and relax these muscles, preventing finger stiffness, relieving discomfort, and ensuring the limb remains healthy and aligned for motor recovery.

Alicia Chagas Mitt, the physiotherapist responsible for guiding the students, explained that the initiative provided the future professionals with the opportunity to apply their theoretical knowledge in a practical context to benefit a patient. She stated that after about three weeks of monitoring, she suggested to the students that they consider building an orthosis to prevent deformities in the patient. In just one week, the students managed to finish manufacturing the orthosis, which was very well made.

The manufacturing process began with the detailed collection of the patient's hand anatomy, using manual drawings on paper and photographic records to capture all necessary details. After completing the initial modeling, the mold was transferred to production in PVC material.

Senior students at Harwastan School rated the Afrikaans language (Part 3) and history exams as fair and manageable, although some faced difficulties due to unfamiliar essay and transactional writing topics.

Kesia Moonsami from Queensberg noted that the Afrikaans language exam, which included an essay and transactional writing, was good. However, she was surprised because none of the topics she expected were included in the test. Moonsami mentioned that the essay section was difficult because her prepared essay did not match the exam questions, forcing her to improvise. She also mentioned that the transactional writing question was unexpected for her, although she managed to answer it.

Despite the difficulties in some sections, Moonsami is aiming for A symbols in Afrikaans and plans to build a career in certified accounting.

Sumayan Doorsami from Malvern encountered problems adhering to the required word count. He noted that the essay topic he prepared for did appear on the exam, but it was difficult for him to stay within the word limit and use correct grammar. He enjoyed the transactional writing section, however, as he could find a connection to the topic and found it easier to write about.

Doorsami reported that his preparation for the final exams involved regular study sessions and avoiding distractions such as mobile phones. He emphasized that consistent work helped him, and he sought help when he didn't understand something, acknowledging that the exams are challenging.

Doorsami, who is passionate about helping people, believes that a nursing career is his choice. Danae Govender from Woodhurst called the Afrikaans language exam 'fair and manageable.' She also mentioned preparing an essay on a topic that was not on the list, which created difficulties when writing about a completely different subject.

Govender highly praised the history exam, noting that the school has an incredible support system. She commended the principal for their wonderful qualities and the teachers for their well-organized teaching methods and support. She intends to study B.Com Law for a future career in commercial law.

Graduates will take the Information Technology exam on Wednesday, and the Accounting exam on Thursday.
