You probably say the exams i sat in order to proceed to the first year of high school,is that right?
If by High School you mean (copied from wiki.):
Secondary Education - Ages: 16 ~ 18
Γενικό Λύκειο (3 years), Geniko Lykeio "General Lyceum"
Then that sounds correct.
I'll leave the specifics to someone more familiar with the current exams.
