Hi,

I have recently received my results for second term exams for GDL and I was quite devastated to see I have failed 4 out of the 7 modules. These were my failed marks:

Land MCQ - 46
Land/Trust combined written - 47, 47
Criminal oral - 43

I was expecting to at least pass them so I honestly don’t know what happened.

I had covid during the first week of April, 2 weeks before the first exam and missed a whole week of lessons but I know it probably wouldn’t count for mitigating circumstances or deferral so I didn’t apply for this at the time nor have I thought to appeal my results.

I am now seriously concerned in regards to my prospects for a training contract as I do need to retake all the failed modules.

Can anyone please advise what my chances are for a training contract or have I just blown away every chance I have?

Thanks,
 
S

I would just keep going! Regardless of anything anyone says to you, if you want a career in law you will make it happen - you can still achieve the TC you want. I am similar with results coming out and thinking I may have to re-take one. Do not be disheartened !! Keep going and you will get there!!

Thank you for saying that, it means a lot honestly. For now I will focus on my retakes and keep pushing forward with the hopes I will be able to land a training contract somewhere!
