FUVEST (from Portuguese Fundação Universitária para o Vestibular, "University Foundation for Vestibular") is a Brazilian autonomous institution connected to the University of São Paulo responsible for its "vestibular" examinations. For that reason, USP's vestibular itself is usually called "Fuvest". The Fuvest examinations also apply for candidates willing to study at Santa Casa Medical School.
FUVEST's exam is considered by most as the most competitive vestibular and demanding exam, only rivalled by the vestibular for the Technological Institute of Aeronautics. Every year, an average of 160,000 candidates take their exams, which usually last several days.
FUVEST's exam is split into two parts. The first part consists of a 90 multiple–choice questions test, taken by all applicants (nicknamed as vestibulandos in portuguese) in late November, or early December. They have 5 hours to answer the questions about the following subjects: Portuguese language and Brazilian/Portuguese Literature, Math, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, History, and English language. Also, according to the candidate's guide, up to 10% of these questions will bear interdisciplinary questions.
well it may be hard to sleep at night
and it may be harder not to fight it
but when worst comes to worst, don’t just sit and hide it
let it all work out and don’t deny it
and now we try so hard at night, to pass it by without a fight
maybe the time is here
and I wish this was a dream, you really need to leave
so take your bags and go with your memories
from night to night
oh this goes on and on, and i'm so overcome
all this time has passed us by
and this is where we finally lie
head up face out, this is not your last goodbye
go on just leave me here, cause this night is going to hell
well its just one more night, we’ll make this time turn out well
go on just leave me here, cause this night is going to hell
well its just one more night, we’ll make this time turn out well
(we’ll make this time turn out)
and this goes on and on
