When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: I see Eski is an infinitive splitter. No doubt he would also want to boldly go where no infinitive has ever been split before.// Having noted Henry's answer and on re-reading the question his answer must be better although 'approve' could be worked in.

: I'd rather not post a "disagree", but despite the opinion of very esteemed colleagues (you included) this is off the mark. For an exam, the proper term is to "pass", and the candidate (person) was "passed".

Yes, I read it rather too quickly and, on reflection, I agree that it should be "pass".
