Unofficial Answer Key Released for ENARE 2026 Dentistry Exam
Listen to the story
An unofficial answer key for the Dentistry section of Brazil's ENARE 2026/2027 exam has been published by education specialists.
ENARE, the National Examination for Access to Medical and Dental Residency Programs, is used across Brazil to select candidates for postgraduate training positions.
This year's assessment covers the combined 2026/2027 cycle, and the Dentistry section is one of several specialty areas included in the exam.
According to the education website Estratégia Concursos, a team of teachers has reviewed the exam questions and compiled their own set of suggested correct answers.
Because the key was produced independently rather than by the exam's official organizers, it is described as unofficial, though it is widely used by candidates for early self-assessment.
Publishing such keys shortly after an exam has become common practice among Brazilian test-preparation companies, giving candidates a fast way to estimate their performance before the results are formally released.
The organization responsible for ENARE is expected to release its own official answer key at a later date, following its standard procedures.
Discrepancies between unofficial and official keys can occur, particularly in questions with ambiguous wording. In such cases, candidates have the right to file formal appeals requesting a review of specific items.
No further details on exam dates, question numbers, or specific answers were included in the summary. Candidates preparing for dental residency positions are advised to consult official channels for confirmed results once they are released.
The publication of the unofficial key reflects the high level of interest among applicants awaiting confirmation of their performance in this competitive selection process.
