JLPT Level 2: Passed!

So I just got my notification in the mail. I took the level 2 JLPT test on December 7th and passed! I passed by the skin on my teeth, but I still passed. The passing level was 240 out of 400 and I passed with 272. I thought you had to pass each section, but apparently you only had to pass on the total score. My reading/grammer score was 5 points below the 60% cutoff, but I still passed. And here is the proof:
