Full transcript
- 0:01There are many differences between
- 0:03municipal, state, and federal civil
- 0:05service exams. And if you want to win
- 0:09any game, it is essential that you know
- 0:10the rules of the game you are playing.
- 0:14That is why, in exam preparation, so
- 0:16much is said about understanding and
- 0:18knowing the exam board's profile. If
- 0:21you are going to study for an exam and
- 0:23you don't dedicate yourself to focusing
- 0:25on that board's profile, you will be
- 0:27greatly harmed. You will arrive at a
- 0:31test without some vital information,
- 0:32and you will often focus your study on
- 0:34the wrong things because you didn't
- 0:36understand the board's profile or the
- 0:37exam's profile. Municipal exams have a
- 0:43specific problem: they are usually
- 0:45organized by local, small boards that
- 0:47are completely unpredictable because
- 0:49there is no history to be analyzed.
- 0:54Recently, you left some comments on the
- 0:56videos asking me to bring some study
- 0:58strategies for municipal exams. After
- 1:03passing three exams with just over a
- 1:05year of study, I managed to gain some
- 1:07insight into how boards work and I
- 1:08learned the profile of the major boards
- 1:10relatively well. But how will knowing
- 1:16the profile of major boards help you
- 1:18with a small municipal board exam? I
- 1:20will explain it to you. Stay with me
- 1:22until the end of the video. To study
- 1:24for a municipal exam, whether it's a
- 1:26small board or not—but let's assume
- 1:28it's a small board you don't know. You
- 1:32should focus heavily on the letter of
- 1:33the law, even if it is a higher-level
- 1:35exam. I have been observing some tests
- 1:39from various exams that take place. The
- 1:45fact that it is a municipal exam seems
- 1:47to attract a greater interest in
- 1:48focusing on the letter of the law and
- 1:50less on more interpretive questions,
- 1:52doctrine, and case law. It's not a hard
- 1:57rule, but there seems to be a tendency
- 1:59in that direction. So, look, you cannot
- 2:01escape the letter of the law; it will
- 2:03be mandatory. It doesn't matter which
- 2:05exam you are taking, but if you are
- 2:07doing a municipal exam with a small
- 2:09board, keep in mind that there is a
- 2:10possibility they will give you a test
- 2:12very focused on the letter of the law,
- 2:14sometimes more than what we normally
- 2:16expect. Obviously, the way the board
- 2:18lays out the topics in the syllabus can
- 2:20already give you a direction on whether
- 2:22they will only charge the letter of the
- 2:23law or if they will ask for doctrine
- 2:25and case law. Vunesp in its syllabus.
- 2:29Another thing you need to do for
- 2:31municipal exams, man, is that they
- 2:33usually have positions for various
- 2:35degrees, right, various fields. So,
- 2:37exams for dentists, for doctors, for
- 2:39psychologists. And what is it that you
- 2:42cannot do? Underestimate the basic
- 2:44subjects. Why? Because your friend,
- 2:46your colleague there who is taking the
- 2:48test with you, who is also a dentist,
- 2:50knows the dentistry material that you
- 2:52also know. They had it in college too,
- 2:54they studied it too, they have a
- 2:56preference for that subject just like
- 2:58you, and very likely they also struggle
- 3:00with math and Portuguese just like you.
- 3:02So you show up for the test, you can't
- 3:04show up carrying the same baggage as
- 3:06them; you have to arrive better, you
- 3:07have to arrive carrying more. So,
- 3:10besides the study you’ll do for the
- 3:12subjects in your field, whatever it may
- 3:14be, you have to arrive carrying the
- 3:16bonus of Portuguese, math, logical
- 3:17reasoning, whatever the basic subjects
- 3:19for your exam are. This is a game
- 3:22changer, okay? This changes the game;
- 3:24this gives you an edge in municipal
- 3:26exams, so to speak, okay? For small
- 3:28exams where few people take the test,
- 3:30where it's a more localized exam, this
- 3:32changes a lot, a lot, a lot, man. There
- 3:35are many people who get approved
- 3:36without studying basic subjects. And
- 3:38then, what happens? People create,
- 3:40right, they feed the belief that they
- 3:42can go to the test without studying
- 3:44basic subjects. "I won't study the
- 3:45subjects in my field because then I'll
- 3:47ace them all and pass." But, man,
- 3:49you’re decreasing your chances by
- 3:50doing that. You’re not increasing
- 3:52your chances, you know? Obviously,
- 3:53every once in a while, sometimes a guy
- 3:55already has a good foundation.
- 3:56Sometimes, by luck, the basic subjects
- 3:58part turned out easy, but then it's
- 4:00easy for everyone. Don't go to a
- 4:02competitive exam like that, man. If
- 4:04it's your dream to be a civil servant,
- 4:05if you want a life change, if you want
- 4:07to improve, if you want to evolve,
- 4:09don't do that. Don't show up to the
- 4:10test underestimating the basic subjects
- 4:12. It could be, and it’s very likely
- 4:14it will be, the difference for you to
- 4:16manage to get approved in the municipal
- 4:18exam in your field. And then, even when
- 4:19the examining board is small and it has
- 4:21a tiny history of exams, right,
- 4:23sometimes you won't even find questions
- 4:25from the board on question websites,
- 4:27nor in the material you bought to study
- 4:29. But what is a bit easier for you to
- 4:32manage is to go to the board's website,
- 4:33look at the latest exams they held, and
- 4:35grab the tests. You don't really need
- 4:38the answers, but grab the tests. Why?
- 4:41You will read the statements and see
- 4:42how they test the subject matter. Oh,
- 4:44look here. In the constitutional law
- 4:46exam it was 100%the letter of the law,
- 4:48but for administrative. There was a lot
- 4:50of doctrine, especially because the
- 4:51subject of administrative law involves
- 4:53a lot of doctrine, right? There are
- 4:54many doctrinal definitions that build
- 4:56the understanding of administrative law
- 4:57there. So you start picking up on this,
- 4:59sometimes by analyzing three recent
- 5:00exams from the board, you can absorb
- 5:02this, man. Extremely valuable
- 5:04information. What is the chance that
- 5:06the rest of the people studying for
- 5:08this contest are doing this? Low, right
- 5:10? But you're going to get to the test
- 5:12feeling big. Why? Because you're
- 5:13subscribed to my channel and watched
- 5:15this video. Because you were interested
- 5:17, you went on the internet and searched
- 5:19how can I take a better test, how can I
- 5:20develop better in this test. And so I'm
- 5:22passing on this thing that will be very
- 5:24valuable, man. Three, four recent exams
- 5:26from the board, you just look at the
- 5:28statements and see how they test. Man,
- 5:30look here in Portuguese, in all the
- 5:32exams, they tested a lot of crase rules
- 5:34, they tested a lot of pronoun
- 5:35placement. Wow, this board puts very,
- 5:38very long texts on the test. So, in
- 5:40these two, three months that you have
- 5:41to prepare in the post-notice period,
- 5:43you will focus on these things, because
- 5:45you saw something that it is very
- 5:46likely that the other candidates have
- 5:47not seen. And this, man, can be the
- 5:49differentiator for you to be approved
- 5:51in your city hall contest. Finally, if
- 5:53the board that is conducting your
- 5:55contest doesn't have enough questions,
- 5:57I have a solution that has sort of
- 5:58already been tested and validated by
- 6:00people who take city hall exams. I
- 6:02researched this, I saw other people's
- 6:04opinions and what did I realize? Some
- 6:07boards have a more neutral testing
- 6:08profile. It doesn't mean it's easy, but
- 6:12it is a way of testing the subject that
- 6:14is more objective. These two boards are
- 6:17FCC and Vunesp. They test the subject
- 6:19more to the letter. They don't tangle
- 6:21up the subject to test you. On the
- 6:23other hand, we have Cebraspe and FGV,
- 6:25which tie the subject in knots to test
- 6:28you on it. You're not going to focus on
- 6:30FCC and Vunesp to create, to fix your
- 6:32subject, especially the letter of the
- 6:34law, right? You will be able to develop
- 6:36well. If you don't have exercises from
- 6:39your board to do, focus on these two
- 6:41boards. But you will do exercises from
- 6:44Cebraspe. Why? Because these are
- 6:46difficult exercises. And if you don't
- 6:49understand your exam board's profile,
- 6:51you'll want to go in having trained on
- 6:52the hard stuff. You end up training
- 6:55only on the easy stuff, then you get
- 6:56there and it's difficult, like this.
- 6:58It’ll mess everything up. That’s
- 7:00what happened in the 2023 TJSP exam. It
- 7:04had the lowest cutoff score in history
- 7:05because it historically wasn't an exam
- 7:07with a difficult profile, but they made
- 7:09it a difficult profile. And a lot of
- 7:12people were just destroyed by the test.
- 7:14I was getting 96, 98 on practice tests.
- 7:17When the exam came, I got 91. I thought
- 7:20I wouldn't pass. Honestly, in my head,
- 7:22I said: "Wow, I must have gotten 70,
- 7:24the moment I left the exam." So, don't
- 7:26let that happen to you. I passed the
- 7:29TJSP exam because I studied a lot. I
- 7:31had already studied for other more
- 7:33difficult boards, and at no point was
- 7:35my approach to studying: "Oh, I won't
- 7:37do the easy exercises.""Oh, no, the
- 7:39hard stuff will be hard for everyone,
- 7:41man." No, always do as much as you can,
- 7:43because if you get there and it’s
- 7:45incredibly hard, everyone will be
- 7:46caught off guard, and it breaks the
- 7:48person's psyche, they can't even answer
- 7:50the questions they knew because their
- 7:51mindset was destroyed. So, man, do
- 7:53Cebraspe questions; they are difficult
- 7:56questions. Complement your study with
- 7:57those questions. And for law questions,
- 8:02I think it's interesting to do FGV
- 8:04questions, they don't have to be many,
- 8:06as FGV uses very long texts and case
- 8:08studies for law questions. Is it more
- 8:12difficult? Yes, it deviates a bit from
- 8:14the city council profile. It does,
- 8:17because generally city council exam
- 8:19questions are more direct, but it will
- 8:21foster in you the need for a deep
- 8:22interpretation of the law. It might not
- 8:27be asked that way on your exam, but
- 8:29it’s a way that makes you learn the
- 8:30content rather than just memorizing the
- 8:32letter of the law. Also, man, if you're
- 8:34a test-taker and you're not subscribed
- 8:36to the channel, be sure to subscribe.
- 8:39You might have noticed in this video,
- 8:41I'm working really hard to bring
- 8:42quality content and solutions to people
- 8:44who study for exams, just like me.
- 8:47That's it for this video. Thank you
- 8:48very much for staying with me until
- 8:50here and a big hug.
