Exact Science(s)
An exact science is any field of science capable of accurate quantitative expression or precise predictions and rigorous methods of testing hypotheses, especially reproducible experiments involving quantifiable predictions and measurements. Mathematics, physics, chemistry, as well as parts of biology, psychology, and the social sciences can be considered as exact sciences in this sense

Sciences
Não usaria o termo exatas, pq não se usa nos curriculos das escolas e universidades americanas. Os curriculos se dividem em Liberal Arts e Sciences

Branches of knowledge
I believe the term "exact sciences" is not common in the USA. The branches of knowledge there are:
Humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, formal sciences and professional and applied sciences.
What Brazilians call "exatas" would include some disciplines of the natural sciences, formal sciences and professional and applied sciences.
If I had to translate that term, I would explain what it means.
