              the IQ test was meant to detect developmental delays. If you score above 100 it doesn't mean much, except that you are good at IQ test. This is why the whole MENSA organization is just people blowing each other.
the way universities work (or at least mine did) is that not everyone graduates and the difficulty is based on your peers. All classes are graded on bell curve and you only get good grades if you are better than average. This is why degree has a value. Watering things down will only water down  value of the degree.

If you practice the IQ test enough, you should be able to.
