In an exclusive sneak peek at Thursday’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians episode on May 27, the mother of four makes a shocking announcement to sisters Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian. “So you guys, I did not pass the baby bar,” Kim states.
The SKIMS founder explains in a confessional that the structure of her journey to the bar exam looks a little different than that of an average law student.
“If you are doing law school the way I’m doing it, it is a four-year program instead of your typical three-year program,” Kim says. “And after year one, you have to take the baby bar. This would actually harder, I hear than the official bar.”
In a flashback, Kim’s mentor, attorney Jessica Jackson, explains that Kim needs a score of 560 to pass the first-year law student exam; she got a 474 on her first try taking the test.
“That is extremely close on a test that most people are not taking in the middle of a pandemic,” Jackson tells her.
Kim was connected to Jackson through CNN anchor Van Jones who gushed that Kim was “doing amazing” in her studies. “I think she’s going to be an unbelievable attorney.
She’s already I think one of the best advocates that we have in criminal justice,” Jones said on the Ellen Degeneres Show.

There are times I feel overwhelmed and when I feel like I can’t do it but I get the pep talks I need from the people around me supporting me…It’s never too late to follow your dreams.”
Yet Kim is too hard on herself after her test scores: “I am a failure,” she mutters. “I spent six weeks straight, 10 to 12 hours a day, studying and it was so important for me to take this. And to not pass gets your spirit down and just makes you want to give up.”
Kourtney comforts Kim by telling her that no matter what, their father would be amazed by Kim’s ambition. “I feel like dad would be really proud of you regardless, just the fact that you’re pursuing this,” Kourtney says.
“I think it’s highly respectable what you’re doing,” Khloe agrees. “I think the time that you get taken away from your family, your kids…”
