I think I've failed my dissertation!
I'm sick to the stomach about it.
I didn't put enough data analysis in, I put some but not much. Found a couple of spelling mistakes after binding. One reference is wrong in the reference section. Just made the 6000 minimum word count. Any sensible thoughts on possible outcomes?

You've only got yourself to blame tbh.
Didn't you have help from a lecturer or at least dissertation area expert? At my university a lecturer read my dissertation several times and he even gave me corrections he was an expert in the area of my research.
6000 words is low as well but I guess that depends on your course/uni.

A few minor mistakes in a 6000 word dissertation will probably not cost much, and the data analysis might cost a bit but won't make you fail. If the reference is completely wrong, it might be a slight issue.
The reference thing was that I'd said it was from a chapter in an edited book. But in the referencing I named the author of the chapter, title of the chapter and the year and the publisher. Just not the book it was in :/

Yes I did have help initially, but had personal issues with anxiety that meant I shut myself off.
It's a new social science research scheme called Q Step, and the word limits were 6k - 9k.

Right, well it's better than just not referencing it at all.

I hope so, the thought of resitting makes me want to throw myself under a bus
