Kim Kardashian Vows to Keep Going After Falling Short at Bar Exam

By Birungi Dorothy

Kim Kardashian has revealed she did not pass her latest California Bar Exam but says she is not giving up on her dream of becoming a lawyer. The 44-year-old reality TV star and entrepreneur shared the news on Instagram, writing, “Well… I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV.” Kim said she was “so close” to passing and views the experience as motivation, not defeat, adding, “Failing short isn’t failure, it’s fuel.”

She began studying law in 2018 through California’s Law Office Study Program, which allows students to apprentice under licensed attorneys instead of attending law school. Kim passed the “baby bar” in 2021 after three attempts. The California Bar is known as one of the toughest exams in the United States, with only about 63 percent of test-takers passing. Kim promised, “I’ll be back harder, smarter, stronger.”
