major field exam vs. (final) exam
På college-/universitetsnivå kalles hovedfag for "major" (iallefall i USA). Eventuelt kan du bruke comprehensive exam, da det omfanger hele studiet og ikke kun det siste semesteret.
Final exam kan også brukes som "fageksamen" så lenge det er avsluttende eksamen i faget.

Michele Fauble
: A 'major' in the US is an undergraduate major area of studies. 'Hovedfag' in Norway follows the Cand. mag degree (earned after four years of study).

Sorry about the misunderstanding. Michele is probably right on this one! :)

Comment: "Thanks. Might it be best as masters degree vs. (bachelor's) degree"
Discussion
Grunnfag after two semesters, mellomfag after another semester (or could be taken directly after three semesters), hovedfag (three more semesters) after Cand. mag. degree. Cand. mag equals a bachelor (mellomfageksam in one subject plus grunnfageksam in two more subjects). In the context, a 'fageksam' (subject exam) would probably be an exam in a course that has been taken without earning a degree, or in addition to the courses required for the degree.
