Hi there
I am looking for a rather convinient equivalent for this term.
the usual pair is "general entrance examination" but after enteing that into google, all I get was a record of 10,000!
there must be a more precise phrase for this word.
thanks in advance.

and the second reason being its virtuous memorability to the glorious sensations of victory in Iran's notorious entry exams to the state university.
