Pulmonary function testing

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

Doctor, yesterday I took PFT Test( spirometry) , required for employment in petroleum refinery. In the resultant graph the peak of the graph crossed 7 on y-axis But online I read that volume should be minimum 80% of the predicted value. So does that mean I have failed the test or the peak at 7 is just normal and I have to consider other parameters too.? Please reply asap
