Kim Kardashian has failed the baby bar exam for the second time and could lose credit for any of the courses she’s taken thus far if she does not pass it on the third attempt.
The reality TV personality and aspiring lawyer revealed the news on Thursday's episode of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians."
"I failed! F**k! I failed," she told her lawyers on the phone, according to Page Six. "This is really annoying."
Kim shared that she had failed her first exam during a May episode of "KUWTK." She had scored 474 on her fits attempt but needed a score of 560 or 70% in order to pass.
While studying for her second exam, Kim was reportedly battling with COVID-19 and said on social media that she "almost passed out after hour 4" of the seven-hour exam, Newsweek noted.
"I am a failure. To not pass gets your spirits down. It makes you want to give up," she said during the May episode of "KUWTK," according to People.
"I'm filming the ending of our show, which will be so emotional. I have every birthday under the sun — it's my 40th. I planned this whole trip and it's too late to cancel," Kim added. "And if I fail again, it's like, what's the point?"
Her sisters urged her to not give up, advising that she avoid waiting until June to retake the test as she could lose momentum.
"I feel like I just got to the end where I almost knew everything," Kim explained. "I could try...or I could just give up I really need to think about it."
She later announced that she would retake the exam, but her second attempt was just as unsuccessful.
"I feel bummed. Like totally bummed, but it is what it is," she said in a confessional on Thursday’s episode. "I know I just have to not stress about it. There’s so many other f**king stressful things going on. I just have to do better in the future."
Kim has been going through marital problems with her estranged husband, Kanye West, and trying to deal with the end of "KUWTK," which is wrapping up after 20 seasons. These were all points that her sister, Khloé, emphasized and after a conversation, Kim resolved to retake the exam in July.
