That is not a problem for the exam - if you are calculating correctly using your guesses then you will still get more marks.
The one thing that I would add however, is that best would have been to do 10% first (because it is in the middle of the tables) and if you had, then it would have been obvious that the IRR was more than 10% and so you would have made your second guess at a higher rate. You would still have got an answer different from BPP, but it would not have been as much different :-)
