How to Answer Essay Questions in Exams (+ Free Printable!)

Many students are afraid of essay-type questions. They may worry about not being able to write anything, or they may think that they can’t answer the questions well. In the previous posts, I have covered a bit on how to write a good essay (which is helpful for essay writing in exams as well), but here I am going to dig a little bit deeper and talk about how you can answer essay questions well in exam.

I am going to talk about:

Why preparation is important for answering essay questions.

How you can analyze the question well and avoid answering in a wrong direction

pode me explicar como funciona a fuvest? e outra coisa que é um pouco mais complicadinho é que eu moro no rs mas tenho pensado em fazer faculdade em sp ou em minas, qq vc acha de fazer facul em outro estado?? obrigada <3

A Fuvest, como a maioria dos grandes vestibulares do país, tem 2 fases. A primeira, de Conhecimentos Gerais, tem 90 questões (História, Geografia, Biologia, Química, Física, Matemática, Português e Língua Estrangeira); ela geralmente é no último domingo de novembro. Você pode fazer a prova em SP (capital) ou ainda em algumas cidades do interior de São Paulo (tem uma lista no site deles). O gabarito oficial sai na noite do mesmo dia (você não pode levar para casa o caderno de questões, mas eles te dão um papel para você anotar seu gabarito). As notas de corte são divulgadas algum tempo depois, e a convocação para a 2a fase ainda depois (eles divulgam uma lista geralzona, com todos os cursos, mas você também pode só colocar seu nome completo/cpf no site e eles falam se você foi ou não convocada para a 2a fase). 

Já a 2a fase geralmente ocorre no começo de janeiro (este ano atrasou, foi a partir do dia 10), e para a maioria dos candidatos ela dura 3 dias. No primeiro, há uma redação dissertativa (20-30 linhas) e 10 questões abertas de Português (gramática, interpretação e literatura - com obras literárias obrigatórias). No segundo, há 16 questões abertas de todas as matérias (incluindo Língua Estrangeira), que podem também ser interdisciplinares. No terceiro, há 12 questões das suas (3) específicas, 4 de cada. 

Se você vai prestar algum curso como Arquitetura ou Design, ainda tem mais 2 dias de Prova de Habilidade Específica. Eles ocorrem na FAU, na cidade universitária, e ocorrem de manhã e de tarde. 

Leia o Manual do Candidato da Fuvest!!!! O site deles é bem completo.

Então, acho que, se você pode se mudar para outro estado, é sempre uma boa experiência! Claro que, no vestibular, tem a desvantagem de eles cobrarem história e geografia regional, mas ainda dá pra passar sem prejuízos. Eu mesma, se passar na USP, vou mudar de estado. 

You can’t make someone love you. If they want to cheat, leave them. If they want to leave, let them. It will hurt but you will learn and you will heal.
