Kim Kardashian has never shied away from sharing her personal challenges, and her ongoing journey to become a lawyer is one of the most heartfelt examples of her determination. Recently, she opened up again about her latest attempt to pass the bar exam — a journey filled with late nights, emotional highs, and heartbreaking lows. Though she did not pass in July, the reality star made it clear that she isn’t giving up.
Through a newly shared video on Instagram, Kim took her followers behind the scenes of the final two weeks of preparation leading up to the July exam. The footage reveals just how committed she was and how emotionally taxing the process had become.
A Glimpse Into Kim’s Final Two Weeks of Study
In her post, Kim explained that she felt compelled to share this chapter of her journey because so many people have been following along with her since the beginning. She wrote that she had documented “the ups, the downs, and everything in between” while preparing for the big test, giving fans transparent insight into her day-to-day dedication.
At the start of the video, Kim appears hopeful and focused. With the exam just two weeks away, she explains how she cleared her professional commitments to devote herself fully to studying. Apart from caring for her four children — North, Saint, Chicago, and Psalm — Kim dedicated nearly every waking moment to her textbooks, her tutors, and her practice materials.
Despite her confidence, she admitted feeling a familiar nervousness. “You never will feel like you’re ready,” she shared. “But you just have to jump in when you feel like you’re close — and that’s the way everything is in life.”
Balancing Exams, Filming, and Motherhood
In the video, Kim explains that the results of her July exam were set to arrive months later — coincidentally on the same day her legal drama series All’s Fair was scheduled to premiere. The potential for either a triumphant celebration or bittersweet disappointment added another emotional layer to the experience.
Kim is then shown deep in study mode: highlighting materials, taking notes, participating in video calls with tutors, and reviewing complex legal concepts. Despite juggling work, filming, motherhood, and her test preparation, she pushed forward with dedication.
But the journey wasn’t without breaking points.
An Emotional Low: “I Feel Like My Brain’s Going to Explode”
Hours after the earlier optimistic footage, the video cuts to a vulnerable moment. Kim lies in bed in tears, overwhelmed by the mental pressure and the intensity of her workload.
“I’m gonna film this because I’m so tired,” she says quietly. “Every time I feel like I’m a step ahead, something happens to try to stop me from doing this. And part of me wants to stop.”
Her voice shakes as she wipes away tears, explaining how the weight of the exam felt almost unbearable. “I feel like my brain’s gonna explode, and I still have so much more to go.”
This raw moment resonated deeply with fans, who have watched her push herself academically for years.
Regaining Confidence Before Exam Day
As the test day approached, Kim’s energy shifted once again. She looked calmer, more focused, and confident about what she had accomplished.
“I feel really good,” she told her followers. “I feel prepared, and that’s the best feeling.”
In the comments, her sister Khloé Kardashian praised her immense commitment, writing:
“I am so, so, so proud of you! I saw how hard you studied and how badly you want this. Keep going! You got this baby!”
Support from her family, friends, and fans continues to play a major role in motivating Kim to keep pushing through every setback.
The Result: A Missed Goal, But Closer Than Ever
Kim later revealed that on November 7, she learned she did not pass the bar exam. In her Instagram caption, she expressed disappointment but also made it clear that this wasn’t the end of her journey.
“This dream means too much to me to walk away from,” she wrote. “I’m going to keep studying, keep learning, and keep showing up for myself until I get there.”
She also shared that she came “so close” to passing — a sign that her years of studying are paying off.
During a visit to The Graham Norton Show, she confidently expressed her hope of becoming a practicing lawyer someday:
“I will be qualified in two weeks. Maybe in 10 years I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.”
Six Years and Counting — No Plans to Quit
On Instagram Stories, Kim reminded fans that she has already spent six years pursuing her legal goals. She joked that though she plays a “well-dressed lawyer on TV,” she intends to earn the real title through hard work.
“No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination,” she wrote.
Her resilience has inspired many — especially women balancing family, careers, and further education.
Her Reaction to Psychics Who Gave Her False Hope
In a humorous moment shared recently, Kim revealed frustration with psychics who predicted she would pass the exam.
“All of the f—ing psychics we’ve met with are all full of s—,” she said in footage posted to TikTok. “They all told me I was gonna pass — so they’re all pathological liars.”
Fans responded with laughter and support, appreciating Kim’s honesty and humor even during disappointment.
Despite Setbacks, the Goal Stays the Same
Kim Kardashian’s bar journey continues to be a powerful example of perseverance. Her willingness to show both her ambition and her vulnerability makes her story relatable to anyone chasing a dream that requires long-term commitment.
She may not have passed this time, but her message is clear: she will not quit until she earns that license.
