After delay, test sites for the INSS contest should leave this Tuesday

The test locations for the INSS public tender, which will be held this Sunday (27), were not disclosed this Monday (21), as provided for in the public notice.

According to the institute, Cebraspe, which organizes the evaluation, needed to make adjustments in the test locations, to change the distribution of candidates. “The prediction is that the test sites will be published in the Official Gazette tomorrow [terça]”, said the advice of the INSS.

The objective tests will last 3 hours and 30 minutes and will be applied on November 27, 2022, at 2 pm (Brasília time). According to the announcement, the candidate must attend the test site at least one hour in advance, with a black ballpoint pen made of transparent material, proof of registration and original identity document.

The INSS did not disclose whether there will be a new link for the site consultation. According to the public notice released on the Cebraspe website, the venue for the exams would be available at http://www.cebraspe.org.br/concursos/inss_22.

With the new failure in the selection, registered candidates complained on social networks about the delay in disclosing the results.

There are 1,000 vacancies for the position of social security technician, and more than 1 million people have applied. Competition is 1,024 people per vacancy.

High school education is required to compete, and the salary is R$ 5,905.79.

Candidates who, during the examinations, are caught carrying:

• electronic devices, such as wearable tech, calculating machines, electronic organizers, cell phones, smartphones, tablets, ipods, recorders, pen-drive, MP3 or similar, clock of any kind, alarms, keys with alarm or any other electronic component, headphones or any transmitter, recorder or receiver of data, images, videos and messages, etc.
• sunglasses, ear plugs, pencil, pencil/graphite, highlighter or eraser
• any headgear accessories, such as hat, cap, beanie etc
• any container or packaging that is not made of transparent material, such as water bottle, juice, soda and food packaging (cookies, cereal bars, chocolate, candies, etc.

The demand to enroll in the INSS contest was so great that the organizer’s website went down and it was necessary to extend the enrollment period for another day. On Twitter, candidates reported difficulty in registering due to problems recovering the password, making a new registration or submitting the exemption request.

Cebraspe (formerly Cespe/UnB) is known to the public preparing for the INSS contest, as it was the bank in the last two editions. The 120 multiple-choice questions have alternatives that must be classified as right or wrong (there will be 50 questions about basic knowledge and 70 about specific knowledge), according to the notice of the contest.

As wrong answers nullify hits, the selection penalizes the kick and makes it difficult to hit by elimination, experts point out. Each correct answer will be worth one point and the wrong answer represents a minus point.
