Screwed up physics. PLEASE HELP!

I have just came out of my physics paper 6 exam, I forgot to take my ruler so I used my set square instead, with 6 cm only. The fact that I had to measure long lengths at two intervals aside. Ii also turned out my set square scale wasn't accurate, it had +1mm . so instead of 4.9 cm it gave me 5 cm.
Therefore, despite the fact that all my working could be correct, my answers would be false due to this error. Does anyone know to how many mm should answers be accurate to in the physics paper 6?
I'm so worried, since I was relying on this easy paper to raise grade.

they will give a range for inaccuracy such as +-0.5 or +- 1.0 depends check mark scheme of the previous years for a similar question
