Google intensifies support for Enem with free Gemini simulations and search for AI
Students preparing for the National High School Examination (Enem) can count on a new free, high-tech resource to assist in the final stretch of their studies. Google announced, on August 20, 2026, the inclusion of interactive and completely free simulations in the Gemini application and in the artificial intelligence function of its traditional search. The initiative appears as a significant reinforcement less than three months before the race, scheduled for November 8th.
How to access Enem simulations
To start training, users just need to type or speak simple commands in the Gemini application, such as “I want to do an Enem simulation” or “Enem simulation”. From this interaction, the artificial intelligence itself sets up the test and allows the student to start practicing immediately. In Search AI Mode, content is presented in a more concise quiz format. This new feature is the result of a collaboration with Brazilian edtech Akira Enem and is available to all users in the country, without the need to subscribe to any paid plan.

Different test formats and the official basis of the questions
Students can choose between two types of simulation: a complete version, with 180 questions, which covers all areas of knowledge, or training focused on one of the four specific areas of Enem. These segmented tests have 45 questions each and cover the subjects of Languages, Mathematics, Human Sciences and Natural Sciences. The questions used in the simulations are official, taken from the extensive database of tests already applied by the National Institute of Educational Studies and Research Anísio Teixeira (Inep), including special editions such as Enem PPL.

Essential tools to optimize preparation
Some additional features make the Gemini study experience even more complete and effective. The platform offers tools that help candidates better manage their time and deeply understand content.
- On-screen stopwatch:It helps with time management when solving questions, simulating real exam conditions.
- Commented resolution:The student can choose to receive a detailed explanation of each question immediately after the answer or at the end of the simulation, understanding why each alternative is correct or wrong.
- On-Demand Tips:For questions considered very difficult, it is possible to request a tip from artificial intelligence, which offers assistance without directly providing the answer.
Future expansion of the platform to other exams
Google is already planning improvements for the tool, aiming to meet an even wider range of student needs. At a press conference, the company mentioned plans to incorporate training dedicated to writing, a crucial component of Enem. Furthermore, there is an intention to expand simulations to other important higher education entrance exams, such as Fuvest, expanding the scope of support for entrance exam candidates.
The impact of free access for Brazilian students
The free availability of these simulations has a significant impact on democratizing access to quality study materials for Enem. Millions of students, many of whom are unable to invest in paid preparation courses, gain a robust tool to test their knowledge and identify weaknesses before the test. The possibility of practicing with official questions, having commented resolutions and managing time effectively, all in an accessible way, is valuable support that can make a difference in candidates’ performance in the exam.
