HOW WOULD YOU TRANSLATE "OPOSICIONES" INTO ENGLISH?

Since I arrived in Spain in 2007, I have always heard a lot about the famous "oposiciones" and how many people study for them for years and years to become full government employees.

In England, we don't have anything that is quite the same as these tests and for that reason we don't really have a very good translation for them. What would your recommendation be?

It will be interesting to see your ideas!

I have always assumed that "Preparation of national public examinations for -enter position-" is the correct one (para las Oposiciones del Estado, claro).

Am I right? Freezing, cold, hot or red hot? :-)

Ni idea lo que significa “oposiciones” en español, menos en inglés!

When I have asked about it, some people have told me it could be "public exams".
