Yes. Note that Q is terrifyingly fast; remember the scene where he speed-reads the newspaper.
Though now it's been pointed out by others, I agree it's pretty much certain that the actually intended meaning is that Q is joking, he ignored their answers to the official exam, and their grades were determined before they ever took it.
And even more relevantly, the scene where he sits in his office, grading papers, not moving anything but his eyes.
It's not clear he's doing it super-fast on that occasion, though, is it?
That's true.
