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 doesn't really answer the Q - das Prüfungsfach wird als "Abiturfach" bezeichnet // so the subject is referred to as a subject?

I don't understand the point you're making. Abitur is Abitur, and Fach is subject.//Yes! What a strange question to ask.

examination subject
"If Chinese is offered as an examination subject (Abiturfach), there must be at least 3 lessons a week to qualify as a 'Wahlpflichtfach'‟.
Discussion
As long as the student was only examined in the subject(s) called Abiturfach(-fächer), it should be ok to translate as examination subject as suggested below by Michael. But if they took exams in other subjects that don't count towards the Abitur, or if it is not known whether they did or didn't, you might have to say something like 'subject counting towards final classification'.
