Step 2 CS - Forgot to wash hands :/

Hey. I was wondering if anybody could offer speculation about the whole handwashing deal? I wrote CS today and was happy with the all the encounters except one that was a old patient who was going kind of slow. The patient notes were good and I counselled everyone about everything. I forgot to wash my hands for the first three encounters though. With 3/12 encounters without handwashing, am I screwed?

there's only one point for hand washing..you'll be fine..i made multiple errors in CS and forgot to wash hands in one patient, forgot patient's name in one case, totally screwed up the diagnosis in 2 cases..in short i did mistakes in every case and i passed with my performance being far better than borderline in all three (no stars though).
