Psychics Told Kim Kardashian She Would Pass the Bar Exam. She Didn’t

In a twist that’s equal parts amusing and ironic, Kim Kardashian recently shared that multiple psychics confidently predicted she’d pass the California bar exam—only for her to fall short. The SKIMS founder, 43, opened up about the psychic mishap on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, sparking laughs and debate about fate versus hard work.

Kim Kardashian’s Legal Journey: From Advocacy to the Bar Exam

Kim’s pivot to law began after her high-profile criminal justice reform work, including helping free Alice Marie Johnson from a life sentence in 2018. Inspired, she announced plans to become a lawyer via California’s “reading the law” apprenticeship—an unconventional path that skips law school.

Despite documenting intense study sessions (even pulling all-nighters while juggling her billion-dollar empire and four kids), Kim failed the notoriously difficult exam twice—most recently in 2022.

The Psychic Prediction Fail: “They All Said I’d Pass!”

On Kimmel, Kim joked about consulting “multiple psychics” who swore she’d ace the test. “They all told me I was gonna pass,” she laughed. “I was like, ‘Great, I don’t even need to study!’” Spoiler: She did.

Fans reacted with memes (“Psychics flunked the bar, too”) while legal experts emphasized the obvious: passing requires preparation, not palm readings.

Why the California Bar Exam is So Tough

California’s bar exam is among the hardest in the U.S., with first-time pass rates near 50%. Kim’s apprenticeship route made it tougher—without law school’s structured prep, success is even rarer.

“The bar tests endurance as much as knowledge,” says legal analyst Rebecca Roe. “Kim’s effort is admirable, but psychics can’t replace practice tests.”

Kim’s Response: Laughing It Off (But Not Done Yet)

True to form, Kim shrugged off the setback: “Maybe the psychics meant next time.” Insiders say she hasn’t given up and may retake the exam. For now, she’s focused on her brands and prison reform work, including her Kardashians show’s wrongful conviction storylines.

The Takeaway: Hard Work > Horoscopes

Kim’s story is a funny reminder: psychic predictions can’t replace effort. While mystics might guess love lives or “big changes,” professional milestones demand sweat—not crystal balls.

“At least I tried,” Kim told Kimmel. “And hey—maybe the psychics were right about something else. I did pass… at failing!”

Final Thought:
Kim’s bar exam flub is a hilarious blip in her saga, but one lesson is clear: in law, only judges—and scantrons—get the final say.
