You graduate based on your skills to think in the moment and other stuff not just strength. That's why Shikamaru was the only 1 that became Chunin despite people like Naruto Sasuke etc being stronger.
But Naruto did think in the moment by digging a hole n shit.

Naruto has qualities of Earth, but lacked Heaven. Sakura had Heaven, but lack Earth. Sasuke had both. After his victory against Neji, Naruto was specifically stated to be Genin level by two proctors. This/the next 2 pages.

"Chunin are the unit commander class...responsible for leading their teams."
Who led the team in the Forest of Death, even outsmarting Orochimaru - a Legendary Sanin? Sasuke.
The winner graduates to 100% and becomes a chunin.
I think I read somewhere that even if you lose you'll be judged by your skill thus you can still graduate.
Idk, Chunnin Exams is plot, because Shikamaru became a chunnin because he was special. While Sakura literally exhibited all the qualifications of one and she got nothing.
Maybe Tsunade promoted her in part 1
