How to unlock the High IQ achievement in Madden NFL 18 - Definitive Guide

Not sure if it changes, but the first questions i was asked were:
Identify the highlighted position - SAFETY
Identify the Hot Receiver - X
What is the play formation called - 22
A short while later more questions:
What is the formation - Single Back Formation
Identify the Safety - X
Even More questions:
2nd and 1 - Run the Ball
What to do instead - Throw a pass
Several QTE sequences where you have to pick Colt or TE:
1st - Colt
2nd - Slot WR (Not Colt)
3rd - Colt
During final game, there are several more ways to increase IQ:
Short QTE sequence to throw to non-covered player
2nd QTE sequence to check down to Forsett. (You can still unlock if you throw to Colt)

Overall pretty Easy, i missed 1 question early and was still able to finish with an A+.
EDIT: Thanks to Lawl Pwned for help!

I got an A grade for my IQ and still got the achievement, so don't be worrying if you don't get an A+. An A will do it just fine!

I had a B+ coming into the 2nd sequence of the final challenge, I chose to throw to Colt because I was also trying to get Steer Clear. That decision decreased my score to a B... Achievement didn't pop.

Is it possible to go back and just do this IQ test again? OR is it necessary to run the whole thing once more?

Can also confirm that a TD on the 2nd challenge of the finale doesn't impact this smile

EDIT: it unlocked when I finished the credits and went to the MUT.

I threw a successful bomb to Cruise on the 2nd challenge during the Finale (the first QTE in your solution for the final game) and got the achievement. So if anyone is scared that it won't pop because you skipped it, you're in the clear.

To go along with the other solution, I want to note that the achievement does not pop right away. In fact, it doesn't pop for quite some time. It doesn't pop until after Julia follows up with Devin for Longshot.

So don't freak out. If you have a high IQ, it'll pop after a while. I had an A+, but my Performance was an A and I got that achievement. I don't know what the cutoff is.

Hope this helps!

The achievement then locks a few minutes later as you progress through the mode... not right away.
