  1. 0:01There are many differences between
  2. 0:03municipal, state, and federal civil
  3. 0:05service exams. And if you want to win
  4. 0:09any game, it is essential that you know
  5. 0:10the rules of the game you are playing.
  6. 0:14That is why, in exam preparation, so
  7. 0:16much is said about understanding and
  8. 0:18knowing the exam board's profile. If
  9. 0:21you are going to study for an exam and
  10. 0:23you don't dedicate yourself to focusing
  11. 0:25on that board's profile, you will be
  12. 0:27greatly harmed. You will arrive at a
  13. 0:31test without some vital information,
  14. 0:32and you will often focus your study on
  15. 0:34the wrong things because you didn't
  16. 0:36understand the board's profile or the
  17. 0:37exam's profile. Municipal exams have a
  18. 0:43specific problem: they are usually
  19. 0:45organized by local, small boards that
  20. 0:47are completely unpredictable because
  21. 0:49there is no history to be analyzed.
  22. 0:54Recently, you left some comments on the
  23. 0:56videos asking me to bring some study
  24. 0:58strategies for municipal exams. After
  25. 1:03passing three exams with just over a
  26. 1:05year of study, I managed to gain some
  27. 1:07insight into how boards work and I
  28. 1:08learned the profile of the major boards
  29. 1:10relatively well. But how will knowing
  30. 1:16the profile of major boards help you
  31. 1:18with a small municipal board exam? I
  32. 1:20will explain it to you. Stay with me
  33. 1:22until the end of the video. To study
  34. 1:24for a municipal exam, whether it's a
  35. 1:26small board or not—but let's assume
  36. 1:28it's a small board you don't know. You
  37. 1:32should focus heavily on the letter of
  38. 1:33the law, even if it is a higher-level
  39. 1:35exam. I have been observing some tests
  40. 1:39from various exams that take place. The
  41. 1:45fact that it is a municipal exam seems
  42. 1:47to attract a greater interest in
  43. 1:48focusing on the letter of the law and
  44. 1:50less on more interpretive questions,
  45. 1:52doctrine, and case law. It's not a hard
  46. 1:57rule, but there seems to be a tendency
  47. 1:59in that direction. So, look, you cannot
  48. 2:01escape the letter of the law; it will
  49. 2:03be mandatory. It doesn't matter which
  50. 2:05exam you are taking, but if you are
  51. 2:07doing a municipal exam with a small
  52. 2:09board, keep in mind that there is a
  53. 2:10possibility they will give you a test
  54. 2:12very focused on the letter of the law,
  55. 2:14sometimes more than what we normally
  56. 2:16expect. Obviously, the way the board
  57. 2:18lays out the topics in the syllabus can
  58. 2:20already give you a direction on whether
  59. 2:22they will only charge the letter of the
  60. 2:23law or if they will ask for doctrine
  61. 2:25and case law. Vunesp in its syllabus.
  62. 2:29Another thing you need to do for
  63. 2:31municipal exams, man, is that they
  64. 2:33usually have positions for various
  65. 2:35degrees, right, various fields. So,
  66. 2:37exams for dentists, for doctors, for
  67. 2:39psychologists. And what is it that you
  68. 2:42cannot do? Underestimate the basic
  69. 2:44subjects. Why? Because your friend,
  70. 2:46your colleague there who is taking the
  71. 2:48test with you, who is also a dentist,
  72. 2:50knows the dentistry material that you
  73. 2:52also know. They had it in college too,
  74. 2:54they studied it too, they have a
  75. 2:56preference for that subject just like
  76. 2:58you, and very likely they also struggle
  77. 3:00with math and Portuguese just like you.
  78. 3:02So you show up for the test, you can't
  79. 3:04show up carrying the same baggage as
  80. 3:06them; you have to arrive better, you
  81. 3:07have to arrive carrying more. So,
  82. 3:10besides the study you’ll do for the
  83. 3:12subjects in your field, whatever it may
  84. 3:14be, you have to arrive carrying the
  85. 3:16bonus of Portuguese, math, logical
  86. 3:17reasoning, whatever the basic subjects
  87. 3:19for your exam are. This is a game
  88. 3:22changer, okay? This changes the game;
  89. 3:24this gives you an edge in municipal
  90. 3:26exams, so to speak, okay? For small
  91. 3:28exams where few people take the test,
  92. 3:30where it's a more localized exam, this
  93. 3:32changes a lot, a lot, a lot, man. There
  94. 3:35are many people who get approved
  95. 3:36without studying basic subjects. And
  96. 3:38then, what happens? People create,
  97. 3:40right, they feed the belief that they
  98. 3:42can go to the test without studying
  99. 3:44basic subjects. "I won't study the
  100. 3:45subjects in my field because then I'll
  101. 3:47ace them all and pass." But, man,
  102. 3:49you’re decreasing your chances by
  103. 3:50doing that. You’re not increasing
  104. 3:52your chances, you know? Obviously,
  105. 3:53every once in a while, sometimes a guy
  106. 3:55already has a good foundation.
  107. 3:56Sometimes, by luck, the basic subjects
  108. 3:58part turned out easy, but then it's
  109. 4:00easy for everyone. Don't go to a
  110. 4:02competitive exam like that, man. If
  111. 4:04it's your dream to be a civil servant,
  112. 4:05if you want a life change, if you want
  113. 4:07to improve, if you want to evolve,
  114. 4:09don't do that. Don't show up to the
  115. 4:10test underestimating the basic subjects
  116. 4:12. It could be, and it’s very likely
  117. 4:14it will be, the difference for you to
  118. 4:16manage to get approved in the municipal
  119. 4:18exam in your field. And then, even when
  120. 4:19the examining board is small and it has
  121. 4:21a tiny history of exams, right,
  122. 4:23sometimes you won't even find questions
  123. 4:25from the board on question websites,
  124. 4:27nor in the material you bought to study
  125. 4:29. But what is a bit easier for you to
  126. 4:32manage is to go to the board's website,
  127. 4:33look at the latest exams they held, and
  128. 4:35grab the tests. You don't really need
  129. 4:38the answers, but grab the tests. Why?
  130. 4:41You will read the statements and see
  131. 4:42how they test the subject matter. Oh,
  132. 4:44look here. In the constitutional law
  133. 4:46exam it was 100%the letter of the law,
  134. 4:48but for administrative. There was a lot
  135. 4:50of doctrine, especially because the
  136. 4:51subject of administrative law involves
  137. 4:53a lot of doctrine, right? There are
  138. 4:54many doctrinal definitions that build
  139. 4:56the understanding of administrative law
  140. 4:57there. So you start picking up on this,
  141. 4:59sometimes by analyzing three recent
  142. 5:00exams from the board, you can absorb
  143. 5:02this, man. Extremely valuable
  144. 5:04information. What is the chance that
  145. 5:06the rest of the people studying for
  146. 5:08this contest are doing this? Low, right
  147. 5:10? But you're going to get to the test
  148. 5:12feeling big. Why? Because you're
  149. 5:13subscribed to my channel and watched
  150. 5:15this video. Because you were interested
  151. 5:17, you went on the internet and searched
  152. 5:19how can I take a better test, how can I
  153. 5:20develop better in this test. And so I'm
  154. 5:22passing on this thing that will be very
  155. 5:24valuable, man. Three, four recent exams
  156. 5:26from the board, you just look at the
  157. 5:28statements and see how they test. Man,
  158. 5:30look here in Portuguese, in all the
  159. 5:32exams, they tested a lot of crase rules
  160. 5:34, they tested a lot of pronoun
  161. 5:35placement. Wow, this board puts very,
  162. 5:38very long texts on the test. So, in
  163. 5:40these two, three months that you have
  164. 5:41to prepare in the post-notice period,
  165. 5:43you will focus on these things, because
  166. 5:45you saw something that it is very
  167. 5:46likely that the other candidates have
  168. 5:47not seen. And this, man, can be the
  169. 5:49differentiator for you to be approved
  170. 5:51in your city hall contest. Finally, if
  171. 5:53the board that is conducting your
  172. 5:55contest doesn't have enough questions,
  173. 5:57I have a solution that has sort of
  174. 5:58already been tested and validated by
  175. 6:00people who take city hall exams. I
  176. 6:02researched this, I saw other people's
  177. 6:04opinions and what did I realize? Some
  178. 6:07boards have a more neutral testing
  179. 6:08profile. It doesn't mean it's easy, but
  180. 6:12it is a way of testing the subject that
  181. 6:14is more objective. These two boards are
  182. 6:17FCC and Vunesp. They test the subject
  183. 6:19more to the letter. They don't tangle
  184. 6:21up the subject to test you. On the
  185. 6:23other hand, we have Cebraspe and FGV,
  186. 6:25which tie the subject in knots to test
  187. 6:28you on it. You're not going to focus on
  188. 6:30FCC and Vunesp to create, to fix your
  189. 6:32subject, especially the letter of the
  190. 6:34law, right? You will be able to develop
  191. 6:36well. If you don't have exercises from
  192. 6:39your board to do, focus on these two
  193. 6:41boards. But you will do exercises from
  194. 6:44Cebraspe. Why? Because these are
  195. 6:46difficult exercises. And if you don't
  196. 6:49understand your exam board's profile,
  197. 6:51you'll want to go in having trained on
  198. 6:52the hard stuff. You end up training
  199. 6:55only on the easy stuff, then you get
  200. 6:56there and it's difficult, like this.
  201. 6:58It’ll mess everything up. That’s
  202. 7:00what happened in the 2023 TJSP exam. It
  203. 7:04had the lowest cutoff score in history
  204. 7:05because it historically wasn't an exam
  205. 7:07with a difficult profile, but they made
  206. 7:09it a difficult profile. And a lot of
  207. 7:12people were just destroyed by the test.
  208. 7:14I was getting 96, 98 on practice tests.
  209. 7:17When the exam came, I got 91. I thought
  210. 7:20I wouldn't pass. Honestly, in my head,
  211. 7:22I said: "Wow, I must have gotten 70,
  212. 7:24the moment I left the exam." So, don't
  213. 7:26let that happen to you. I passed the
  214. 7:29TJSP exam because I studied a lot. I
  215. 7:31had already studied for other more
  216. 7:33difficult boards, and at no point was
  217. 7:35my approach to studying: "Oh, I won't
  218. 7:37do the easy exercises.""Oh, no, the
  219. 7:39hard stuff will be hard for everyone,
  220. 7:41man." No, always do as much as you can,
  221. 7:43because if you get there and it’s
  222. 7:45incredibly hard, everyone will be
  223. 7:46caught off guard, and it breaks the
  224. 7:48person's psyche, they can't even answer
  225. 7:50the questions they knew because their
  226. 7:51mindset was destroyed. So, man, do
  227. 7:53Cebraspe questions; they are difficult
  228. 7:56questions. Complement your study with
  229. 7:57those questions. And for law questions,
  230. 8:02I think it's interesting to do FGV
  231. 8:04questions, they don't have to be many,
  232. 8:06as FGV uses very long texts and case
  233. 8:08studies for law questions. Is it more
  234. 8:12difficult? Yes, it deviates a bit from
  235. 8:14the city council profile. It does,
  236. 8:17because generally city council exam
  237. 8:19questions are more direct, but it will
  238. 8:21foster in you the need for a deep
  239. 8:22interpretation of the law. It might not
  240. 8:27be asked that way on your exam, but
  241. 8:29it’s a way that makes you learn the
  242. 8:30content rather than just memorizing the
  243. 8:32letter of the law. Also, man, if you're
  244. 8:34a test-taker and you're not subscribed
  245. 8:36to the channel, be sure to subscribe.
  246. 8:39You might have noticed in this video,
  247. 8:41I'm working really hard to bring
  248. 8:42quality content and solutions to people
  249. 8:44who study for exams, just like me.
  250. 8:47That's it for this video. Thank you
  251. 8:48very much for staying with me until
  252. 8:50here and a big hug.
