(AQA LANG) I wrote a story about the description instead of the prompt. Am I screwed?

The story itself was good, but in the rush of the exam I wrote a story about the picture intended for the description, instead of the prompt. How many marks am I going to lose? It's driving me crazy.

It's not even like the story went slightly off topic. I had no more than 3 lines dedicated to the picture even in the story. I'll just have to hope for the best for paper 2 I guess :frown:

If you included description that then flowed into a story then it should be fine. Usually the prompt is somewhat similar to the picture. I remember when I took my GCSEs I combined both the prompt and the picture together to form an answer.
