Swearing in gcse language exam

I used the f word once in my exam as I got too into the flow and thought it would add effect now I’m really paranoid I will get disqualified or marked down. Can anyone help me on what will happen to ease my mind? I’m sure it added effect but I can’t find anything out on what will happen in these exams.

Well a website said: While it's unlikely to cause a failure, using swear words could potentially make you appear unprofessional or immature. So you eon’t fail, but idk how strict these examiners will be, but you won’t fail (but idk if they will downgrade you a little bit, depends if it was in context i guess)
