GDL Notes, Exam Plans & Exam Answers
Hi there! I’m a former GDL student at the University of Law and I've shared my course notes, exam plans, and exam answers.
The GDL is pretty intense - I know from experience it can be difficult to learn everything AND optimise your exam technique. That’s why I publish my notes and exam plans, which hopefully help you do both at the same time!
If you have any questions, pls feel free to message me :)

GDL EXAM SCRIPTS - Equity & Trusts (87%), Criminal Law (85%), Tort Law (75%), Contract Law (75%)
Exam scripts for the four papers in which I scored a Distinction on the GDL at The University of Law. I got 74% (Distinction), including:

87% Equity & Trusts Law
85% Criminal Law
75% Tort Law
75% Contract Law

For me, the main barrier to doing well in GDL exams was not knowing how to write in the exams, so I hope these help :)
