Kim Kardashian was less than two weeks away from the bar exam when the pressure finally got the better of her. On the December 18 episode of The Kardashians, the reality star was shown struggling as she prepared for her exam — just nine days away from the July exam she’d worked towards for years.
The moment was filmed before the results were revealed and marked a rare setback in Kim’s otherwise well-managed trip.
Kim Kardashian fell ill while preparing for the bar exam
In the episode, Kardashian admitted that she had reached a breaking point. She described the preparation as tremendous and said that she was feeling physically and mentally tired. At one point, she told the camera, “I’m absolutely going to cry, because it’s so exhausting,” explaining how overwhelming the process had become, People reported.
The strain was further compounded by a back injury that limited his mobility. She reported that she could barely sit or walk comfortably, which added another layer of frustration during an already arduous study period. “Last night, I was like, why is this happening?” he told the camera.

What happened a few days before the July bar exam?
Kim Kardashian also reflected on the emotional impact of the procedure. Despite being warned that many people experience intense stress before the bar exam, she said, “I’m not that person, but I understand it. It’s really a lot. Now I really understand it.”
He told the producers that he did not know whether it would seem personal or exhausting in the final stages, noting that it felt almost impossible to absorb any more information. One producer commented that he had never seen her want something so badly, leading the SKIMS founder to consider what it might mean to fail according to people.
At the time, she suggested that if she did not pass, she would not attempt the exam again for years, citing time constraints and concerns about mental stamina.

Did Kim Kardashian pass the bar exam?
In November, a few months after the exam, Kardashian publicly confirmed that she did not pass. Still, she was careful to present the results as a break rather than an endpoint. People reported that on her Instagram Stories, Kim Kardashian wrote that she was not a lawyer yet, but remained committed to the process and described failure as fuel rather than failure, People reported.
He later shared footage from his study period and reiterated that goals still matter a lot. The disappointment was real but temporary, he said.
New episodes of The Kardashians continue to premiere Thursday on Hulu.
