what statement did i make that doesn't make sense? the exams are not a fixed test. in that they are not standardized like a test you would do in college. there are no fixed set of questions. you go before a review board which appeared to be the hokage and some jonin and maybe the advisers. they test you with your knowledge of basic techniques but they are not fixed it showed Naruto doing the transformation jutsu and clone techniques more over Iruka who was a chunin was capable of passing naruto to genin by simply seeing Naruto do the multi shadow clone jutsu. more over you're initial question was how is he the same age as the rest of his class because he failed graduation twice. the fact is they do not have grades until you are graduated you are just a student of the academy the lowest rank a ninja can have is Genin by graduated Naruto was a Genin before that he had no rank. its not like real life where you have kindegarden 1st grade etc etc. there is no being held back. you just continue going to the academy util you graduate
