Chinese term or phrase: 反向小综合
反向小综合 as a subject. From what I understand, the explanation is as follows:

反向小综合会考是指有文科高考倾向的学生,在高二期间需要参加理科综合的会考;有理科高考倾向的学生,在高二期间需要参加文科综合的会考。文科综合会考内容包括政治、历史、地理三个科目,理科综合会考内容包括物理、化学、生物三个科目。

Any idea what's the proper term for this subject?

English translation:Comprehensive Exams on Secondary(or Minor) Subjects
Explanation:
Think in another way:

For high-school students with different plans for their future, they have primary subjects (or major subjects) and secondary subjects (or minor subjects) in their curricula. The former are more important and the latter less important.

And as for "小", maybe it is not very necessary to translate it at all.
