While many aspiring attorneys celebrated their California Bar Exam results Saturday, Nov. 8, others received disappointing news, including on-screen lawyer Kim Kardashian.

"The Kardashians" star revealed she did not pass the infamous test required to be a licensed attorney in the state on social media after starting her law journey six years ago. She said she has no plans to stop, determined to take the test again until she passes.

"Well… I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV," she wrote, acknowledging her new role in Ryan Murphy's not-so critically acclaimed series "All's Fair." "I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up – just more studying and even more determination."

She continued: "Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far. Falling short isn’t failure – it’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let’s Go!"

Widely considered one of the most difficult bar exams in the country, only 53.8% of test-takers passed the previous California exam in July 2024 and in February 2024, according to the State Bar of California.

The next bar exam isn't scheduled until February 2026, followed by July 2026. Results are released in May and November, respectively.

How many times has Kim Kardashian taken the bar?

Kardashian has only taken the California Bar Exam once, in July 2025.

She passed the "baby bar," officially known as California's First-Year Law Students' Exam, in late 2021 after failing three times in two years.

When did Kim complete law school?

Kardashian graduated from law school in May as she follows in the footsteps of her father, Robert Kardashian Sr., who represented former NFL player O.J. Simpson in his highly publicized murder trial.

"I finally graduated law school after six years!!!" Kardashian wrote on her Instagram story on May 21.

Ahead of starting law school, the SKIMS founder already used her platform to pursue criminal justice reform. In June 2018, she met with President Donald Trump during his first White House term when he granted clemency to Alice Marie Johnson, who was serving a life sentence for cocaine trafficking.
