The test is pretty bad designed, author only answering "X" guys passed, your fault at each point bringing that out really doesn't help.

It really should have at least one test with a large number to predict the time allocation for this question.

Questions like this one are the ones that prevent Code Wars experiences being all around pleasant

I have the same issue. Did you figured out what was wrong?

• give the language, when you post issues or even questions
• you're not following the expected precedence: you check the certificates only if all the required papers are provided.
• note that you cannot debug using only one bulletin: rules take into account the previous days.

As you can see at the top of the page 1143 guys passed the Python kata, so the problem doesn't come from the kata.
Maybe a flaw in your code or a CW problem. In these two cases I can do nothing for you, sorry:-(
