exam mistake corrected wrong

hey people,my examiners told me to include negatives on the equation, so i changed the positive EMF to negative and proceeded from there, obviously getting the 3 marks wrong due to incorrect information. is there any hope of me getting consequential marks? should i report this and argue my case?
