Worry over stupid mistake in Spanish exam

Hi, today I've just had my Spanish Reading & Writing exams (GCSE, AQA) and there's just one thing bothering me.

I wanted to say "therefore the students would be happy" but got stuck on the "would be" part. I sat there for a couple of minutes and for some reason came out with "seriamos" I know, it's not even in the right person! And it's just wrong in every way possible. As soon as the papers were collected I realised and smacked my head on the desk.

I know this might sound silly, worrying about this one mistake but I can't help worrying about whether this will stop me getting a good mark (17-ish/20 for that section) which I really need to make up for a disasterous listening exam.

Throughout the paper I did manage to use: the proper future, the preterite, perfect tense, conditional and imperfect (twice, but the second sounded a little bit weird)

Please tell me I'm not worrying over nothing! I'd really like an A for Spanish as I'm doing it next year at college.

Thanks.

Don't panic. I made some silly mistakes as well, but its positive marking in the writing papers so they won't penalise you much for it. If it makes you feel any better, I put 'my mother called me to the supermarket by car' instead of 'my mother took me to the supermarket by car'
Don't worry, if you included all those tenses, I'm sure you'll have done fantastically, I forgot the imperfect and only used the preterite, future, conditional and a bit of subjunctive.

Would you really need to use 6 tenses (imperfect, preterite, future, present, conditional, subjunctive) to get high marks

The more tenses you use the better. Conditional is a must if you want an A.

It's a pretty big error, but a valid one. As long as the rest went fairly well I wouldn't worry about it

Actually, my french teacher told me that the conditional isn't in the current spec. It's in the new one though. They like it if you do use it but you don't have to to get an A/A*.

How many times in the writing would you have to use the conditional?

I'd say once or twice is enough really. If it works with the rest of your writing, use it more often, can't hurt. As long as the examiners can see your capable of using it you should get the grades
