Before I make my own literal translation of this term, I wanted to check if anyone knows if there is a direct UK equivalent, please? Thank you.

¿Qué es la EBAU?
Son las siglas de Evaluación del Bachillerato para el Acceso a la Universidad y hace referencia a la actual prueba de acceso que debe realizar el alumnado que quiera ingresar en la universidad (sustituye a la PAU).

Un 95,28 por ciento de los estudiantes del distrito de la universidad ha superado la prueba ordinaria de la Evaluación del Bachillerato para el Acceso a la Universidad (EBAU), una tasa ligeramente inferior a la de 2019, aunque la nota media se mantiene en 7,38.
