Kim Kardashian Passes 'Baby Bar' Law Exam After Failing Three Times

The American reality television star and entrepreneur revealed in 2019 that she was studying to become a lawyer. She actively campaigned for prison reform under the Trump administration.

Kim Kardashian has passed a law exam, moving a step closer to being able to practice as an attorney in the state of California, after three failed attempts in two years.

The reality show star said that despite multiple failures, she was determined to pass the bar, and studied harder until she finally did it. Kim also revealed that she had coronavirus on the third try and a fever, but "I'm not making excuses".

After her breakthrough, Kim couldn't contain her excitement and shared the news in a series of tweets in which she said that in California, to become an attorney, one needs to clear two bar exams that have a harder passing rate.

"I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option and it feels so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals", Kim tweeted.

I failed this exam 3 times in 2 years, but I got back up each time and studied harder and tried again until I did it!!! (I did have COVID on the 3rd try w a 104 fever but I’m not making excuses😉) pic.twitter.com/Fyy2TVG9lz

Calling it a life-altering moment, Kim expressed gratitude to the professors and peers with whom she used to have four hours of Zoom studies on a daily basis and practice tests week after week.

Recalling her late father Robert Kardashian, who was a hugely successful attorney in Los Angeles known for defending former National Football League (NFL) star and actor OJ Simpson in a murder trial, Kim shared that she previously wanted to become a lawyer and work on criminal justice reform.

While destiny had something else planned for her as she went on to become a popular TV personality and entrepreneur, Kim didn't give up on her dreams.

Bottom line is don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!

Awesome to see @KimKardashian choose a self-study route for higher education.

Hopefully her experience will encourage new ways of learning and credentialing for all those pursuing careers where extreme debt has become the norm. https://t.co/OyyLaG9wAW
