Presentation

The ANPAD – Brazilian Academy of Management is the leading national association of graduate programs, research groups, and researchers in the field of administration, accounting, and related fields.  

ANPAD has been operating since 1976 and brings together 104 graduate programs and more than 2,000 members from all over the country. Each year, ANPAD organizes three divisional meetings and one general meeting representing 11 research groups of our community. In addition, ANPAD publishes two leading academic journals – the Journal of Contemporary Administration (RAC) and BAR – Brazilian Administration Review, and one referenced database of scientific content (Spell). Also, it is responsible for Teste ANPAD, a nationwide used proficiency test for graduate programs.   

ANPAD also advocates in the interests of associated graduate programs in society and in the dialogue with the scientific community and government agencies responsible for regulating education, scientific and technological development in Brazil. 

Thus, ANPAD is an important space for dialogue, academic debates, and social experience, contributing to the exercise of democracy and citizenship, and aiming to advance the quality of research in management, accounting, and correlated fields.

Teste ANPAD (ANPAD Proficiency Test) was created in 1987 as a nationwide proficiency test that aims to standardize the student selection process for post-graduation programs in Business Administration, Accounting Sciences, and related areas in Brazil.

The Test can also be used by other institutions and organizations interested in improving their selection process, such as universities, private research centers, and corporations.

The exam measures the performance of participants in solving linguistic and interpretative problems in Portuguese and English, as well as logic/mathematical and analytical/argumentative problems, regardless of their graduate level.

Applicants can take Teste ANPAD as many times as needed. The results are valid for up to 2 (two) years. However, each institution is free to decide, within this period, which results to accept.
