Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (3): Charles Davis, JohnMcDove, lorenab23

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.

Discussion

En México se conocen como Geografía Universal, Geografía Económica y Geografía Física. ¿La "P" podría ser de "physical" o "physics"?
Yvonne Becker Jul 16, 2015:
Cuando buscas la materia en internet, aparecen a veces juntas P y AP. AP = advanced placement. P probablemente indique el nivel de la materia. He visto que existe "pre-advanced placement". Chequea en la página del colegio a ver si explican las siglas

Geografía Mundial (asignatura de preparación universitaria)

"“P” stands for “Prep” and means the course is a college preparatory class. If the course contains “AP” in the title, it is an approved “Advanced Placement” course, for which a standardized test is available for students to take upon completion of the course. Passing this test with a score of 3 or better will earn students college credits at most colleges. “AP” in the title, therefore, also lets the student know it is a college level course and is college preparatory. If the course does not contain a “P” or “AP,” it satisfies high school graduation requirements only."
