"Logan" (the movie) was right about it.
As simple as that, the time stamp in "FIRST CLASS" is wrong, the final credits are right.
The sequence in which Charles and Raven meet for the very first time is NOT set in 1944, but 1950. Charles is 12 years old (according to the final credits) and Raven is 10 years old (according to the final credits).
This means that Charles was 24 years old in 1962. It makes sense. Charles is a genius. He just took his doctorate at 24, not 30.
And Raven's quote in "Apocalypse" finally makes sense. Raven claimed (to Jean) that she was very young at the time of her first mission as X-Man (1962, "First Class"). Indeed, she was 22 years old. Even if Jean was 17/18 in "Apocalypse" (1983), Raven was "rounding it" in order to relate to her and create a genuine connection.
That would also explain why Erik was treating Raven as a little girl in "First Class". Erik was 32 years old.
