Have I bombed my SA application?

I managed to answer only 16 out of 20 questions on the numerical reasoning test. I'm pretty confident about the questions I did answer, but best case scenario is still only 80% (I know, I know, I should have guessed the remainder. Kicking myself). Will my application be screened out?

Since when do they give a reasoning test? Is this outside of the US? What firm?

Online psychometric testing is embedded in the application process in the UK at least.
