Question I failed JLPT N4 by one point (89/180). Is there any chance to round-up and pass?

Like, can I claim that the mask during the test caused me bad asthma and headaches (I can prove I am asthmatic)?

If so, how to claim? thanks in advance

I feel your pain. I failed N2 just by a few points years ago. I think it's very doubtful that you could make a claim like this successfully. You'll need to take the test again. Maybe you'll be ready for N3 next time.

thanks, the point is it is more painful failing by 1 point than by a few hehe

does anyone know if I can fill up a claim somehow?

Contact them and ask but I can't imagine a scenario where they would give you an extra point no matter the excuse.
