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.

: That's the general meaning, but not the specific meaning for exams. I've taught in the school and uni system in France and have been a student for the past few years. An exam that is "validé" is an exam that you have passed.

A course, a module or an exam can be "validé". Indeed, sometimes, a module can be failed but that part of a group of modules be offset (compensated) by good marks elsewhere and the whole thing be "validé" overall.

Check the second page here : "Comment obtient-on le DEASS?"

La formation est sanctionnée par le DEASS (Diplôme d’Etat d’Assistant de Service Social) délivré par la préfète de région (DRDJSCS)
aux candidats ayant validé les 4 DC. Les épreuves sont les suivantes :
• DC1 – Présentation et soutenance d’un dossier de pratiques professionnelles
• DC2 – Présentation et la soutenance d’un mémoire d’initiation à la recherche dans les champs professionnels
• DC3 - Epreuve de dossier de communication, réalisée en établissement de formation
• DC4 – Epreuve écrite de connaissance des politiques sociales et implication dans les dynamiques partenariales institu
tionnelles et interinstitutionnelles.
N.B. : Les candidats titulaires d’un diplôme en travail social de niveau III (CESF DEFA, DEES, DETS et EJE) bénéficient de la validation
automatique des DC3 et 4. L’ensemble du diplôme doit être validé dans une période de 5 ans à compter de la date de notification de

In the DEASS extract, it is a matter of "validating" several "domaines de compétences".

On transcriptions, you generally find the mark (note) and an indication along the lines of whether the person is ADM (amis) or AJ (ajourné), respectively pass or fail. It is less common to find "validé" next to an individual mark. More often than not, it is uses in texts as above, describing whether a group of exams or a particular module has been passed. Like I have already poitned out, you can pass a particular group of exams (or a particular module, depending on how things are organised) getting a good mark on one element which offsets a bad mark elsewhere. That is the calssic set up for "validé". For example, imagine a course on the Ve Republique:
CM (mark based on lectures) : 9/20 (AJ)
TD (mark based on written coursework submitted for assessment) : 15/20 (ADM)
You fail the first one, but pass the second. If the weighting is equal, then the student will be ADM for the course on the Ve Republique. You are considered as having "validé" this course.

: So I don't think "pass" really covers it. Maybe Josephine's suggestion of "compensated pass"?
