Admissions test went badly.

Hello everyone, I took an admissions test (LNAT), it went horribly and there was a major disruption during the exam that lasted for a long period of time.

In the end, I got special consideration for my LNAT, but it is very vague and I'm unsure of what it actually does.

Is the LNAT something I should be worried about, and how badly will it affect my application (assuming I didn’t do well on the LNAT) if I have this special consideration?

Also, are there any steps from now till October that I can take to mitigate any damage caused by it? For context I’m applying to Cambridge.

Any help is very appreciated!

"Will my circumstances be considered in evaluating my LNAT result?

If you have any examination access requirements, these must be notified on our examination access requirements form in advance of booking your test, so that suitable provision can be made and LNAT universities can be informed as appropriate. If you did not tell us about your examination access requirements (so that provision was not made), or if you sat the test in adverse circumstances (e.g. you were unwell or distressed), then any allowance in the interpretation of your LNAT result is between you and the universities to which you have applied. You should contact the universities to explain the situation. Your result will not be adjusted by the LNAT Consortium or by Pearson VUE."

As for the significance of the LNAT -
