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.
Proposed translations
avec mention
Usually, 'pass' is the lowest, most basic grade
Then 'merit' (if there are no other grades) means 'avec mention' or 'mention TB' or something like that.

In fact, if there are only 2 grades, you might need to use 'avec mention bien'
See this list of 'mentions' from R+C:
être reçu avec mention : to pass with distinction ou honours (also 'merit' depending on the establishment)
être reçu sans mention : to get a pass
mention passable : » pass , » pass mark (grade C)
mention assez bien
École : » (grade) B
Université : » lower second class honours Brit , » (grade) B US
mention bien
École : » B+ ou A-
Université : » upper second class honours Brit , » cum laude US
mention très bien
École : » A ou A+
Université : » first class honours Brit , » magna cum laude US
