The special exam season started with a very low attendance rate. Only 40.4% of enrolled students attended the Portuguese exam, which opened this exam phase.
The special season is intended for students who were unable to take the exams during the regular season for specific reasons, such as illness or other exceptional situations. However, despite being authorized to participate in this phase, the majority chose not to attend.
This data contrasts with the usual pattern, as students who obtain authorization for the special season normally tend to be highly motivated to take the exams. The low participation on the first day raises questions about the reasons that led so many students not to attend.
