I'm pretty sure that there was more to it than that. They were doing henge as well, if I recall correctly. If three bunshin was all that was needed to pass, just about anyone would pass early. It could be that early graduation is granted, not obtained. The headmasters obviously didn't think that Sasuke was good enough to get out early, and Naruto, even though he probably tried to get their attention a few times by trying to test out early, was obviously not deemed good enough either. It's an explanation that works with no contradictions to the story (as far as I know), therefore there is no plot hole as of yet. Just an unexplained fog on that part of the story. For it to be a plot hole, there has to be no reasonable way for a situation to happen like it was said to.
