SUASSUNA, LÍVIA  and  SILVA, THAYS LIMA E. LITERATURE ON TESTING AND EXAMS: THE ENTRANCE EXAM OF UFPE AND ENEM. Est. Aval. Educ. [online]. 2019, vol.30, n.74, pp.362-391.  Epub Oct 22, 2019. ISSN 1984-932X.  https://doi.org/10.18222/eae.v30i74.3861.

The aim of this article is to analyze the literature exams of the National Secondary School Exam (ENEM) and the entrance exam of the Federal University of Pernambuco (UFPE) to determine if both are consistent with the theoretical and methodological principle of literary literacy. A quantitative-qualitative, descriptive and interpretative study was conducted by analyzing a corpus formed by the UFPE and ENEM literature tests applied in December and October 2013, respectively. The results indicated that the exams are consistent with their standardizing documents; that the ENEM literature test is closer to the idea of literary literacy. Also, that there are other differences between them: the UFPE literature test is more content-oriented and gives more weight to the standard texts than the ENEM test, which is more constructivist and cognitivist.
