English Literature Paper 2

Can I still get a grade 6/7 in English Literature because I missed unseen poetry accidentally?
I just forgot about it and feel like an idiot, I was crying after the exam when I realised, I heavily revised An inspector calls and anthology poetry and I flicked through the pages of the booklet and didn't check properly and didn't see the unseen poetry.

if you were to get maximum marks on both paper 1 and paper 2(apart from the unseen...) you would be able to get about an 8 so yeah it is still attainable

Thank you for the feedback, I was really stressed and I feel so daft, hopefully my hard work pays off.
I hope you do amazing in your exams! Good luck!

i did the questions about how old and young characters respond to the inspector, but i can't remember the other one, what was it, it was something to do life for female characters??

unseen is like only 1/3 of the paper 2 and 1/5 of the whole thing, so if everything else was really good then you can even get an 8 (depending on grade boundaries)

You can look up the 2023 exam paper you know! Off the top of my head, (AQA BTW) the first was Scaffolding by Seamus Heaney. IDK name of the second, but it was comparing a relationship/love to a tree in seasons or smth. The poems were both metaphors about a romantic relationship.
