GDL Resits

Hi, I was wondering whether resitting exams during my GDL would severely affect my chances of securing a TC? I've met the entirely requirements of at least a ABB at A-Levels and have a 2:1 from a Russell Group university but I failed my Public Law I exam and one part of my Land Law exam which I had to retake. I just wanted to know, realistically how this would affect the way law firms view my application. This was during COVID and I have since undertaken paralegal experience.
