“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!!!”
Her post continued: “I know my dad would be so proud and he would actually be so shocked to know that this is my path now but he would have been my best study partner.”
Kim first revealed her plans to become a lawyer back in 2019 in an attempt to follow in her late father‘s footsteps.
Robert Kardashian was an attorney primarily known for representing OJ Simpson during his murder trial in the 1990s.
California introduced a mandatory examination that first-year law students attending unaccredited schools must pass in order to continue their legal studies.
The baby bar is a seven-hour exam made up of four essays and 100 multiple-choice questions focusing on contracts, criminal Law, and Torts – which is the infringement on a person’s rights.
The exam is scored on an 800-point scale and examinees are required to score a minimum of 560 – a 70 percent accuracy rate – to pass.
California is currently the only state that employs this system and offers a path to passing the bar without attending law school by “reading the law,” or apprenticing with a practicing lawyer or judge.
Kardashian appeared on Hillary Clinton’s new show, Gutsy, a docuseries that focuses on women.
Clinton and her daughter, Chelsea, sat down with Kardashian to host a legal knowledge quiz between Clinton and Kardashian.
Clinton, who received her law degree from Yale University, lost to Kardashian in a landslide victory.
Kardashian won the quiz with a final score of 11-4, something Clinton called “impressive.”
“[Kim Kardashian’s] very self-aware that her celebrity can make a difference positively, and where it may make a negative difference,” Clinton told PEOPLE.
“She never wants to make a negative difference, so being judicious and thoughtful about when and where and how she engages was really impressive to us. I want, even beyond this series, to do whatever I can to help her in that work.”
Speaking on Kardashian’s win, Clinton told the outlet: “I was really intrigued by how well she did. I wanted to put the spotlight on her, not that she needs it, but she worked really hard to get that.”
Gutsy premieres on September 9, 2022, on Apple TV+.
