Well, it's a little silly (don't do this again).

However, they did ask for at least 3 types of information so they can cross check. If they only asked for your student number, then you are potentially screwed. You should be fine without them raising a ruckus.
If they do raise a ruckus, they will contact you in writing.

I do wonder how you managed to put down the wrong student number for a number of your GCSEs in a UK exam centre though. In a typical exam situation, they would give you your student number on a card right on your desk. You only need to copy the number in front of you onto the exam paper.

i mixed up a number with another and i asked my examiner as soon as i knew about this and they said it’s fine don’t worry about it, i had correctly displayed my full name and the examining area (my school code)
