I just did my Atcl piano exam few days ago. Is it okay to make some mistakes likr pressing the wrong notes?

Exams are nothing but a chance to get assessed by another fallible human.

Why care about being able to score a distinction or merit or pass or fail? The important thing is that you enjoy the music, you keep on learning new things and improving, and that you can communicate well with your listeners. Everything else is secondary to these. Also, pretty much nobody cares too much about minor mistakes (just watch Horowitz!). What is important is that you bring out the soul of the music.
