I got 26 out of 30. I had no idea for a couple of the anagrams and I made a couple of silly mistakes

If your absence does not affect them, your presence didn't matter.

I also got 26/30. I made one silly mistake and didn't answer three questions (among which the anagrams - even in hindsight I don't think I could have solved those).
Best wishes,
Hans

I'm usually OK at anagrams, when I do the crossword in the Guardian, but I have to write the letters down and puzzle over them. I looked at a couple of these and decided it would take far too long to solve them.
