Made a mistake on an excel prompt

Recently took a modeling test that also had some excel prompts and Argus prompts on different tabs.. aced the model but I think I made a mistake on 1/10 of the prompts on the separate tab. Am I likely dinged? This is an acquisitions role and I’m currently in acquisitions at a different firm. I’ve never interviewed someone so not sure how the team is looking at this from their perspective.

No way to know but just finished an Excel test for a similar role, they said before try your best it's a hard test for the time limit. I 100% didn't finish one of the return questions and messed up a sensitivity table but showed that I knew it and got through. I've had acquisitions interviews where I crushed the modeling test, like they literally told me I did very well on it (again I got more than 1 response completely wrong but tried) and they were impressed with what I did in the time limit and got the follow up interview so you never know.
