Last month, we learned that Kim Kardashian had failed her first attempt at the California baby bar (aka the First-Year Law Students’ Examination). The news was disclosed in an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians that was filmed in October 2020, but aired in late May. On Thursday night, on the series finale of the reality TV show, she revealed that she fared no better on her second go at the exam — in fact, she scored even worse than last time. But perhaps there was a reason for that.

We’ve come to learn that Kardashian was ill with COVID-19 when she took the baby bar for the second time. People has the details on that:

“That was probably the hardest thing I’ve ever, ever had to do,” she told the cameras. “I have about two months before we get the results, and if I don’t pass, I don’t care because I had COVID, and if I pass then it is a f—— miracle and I don’t know how I did that. I definitely feel like I knew more this time on the test than last time on the test. I feel really confident about that, but you know you get really cloudy and you get really like, this COVID brain.”

“If I didn’t pass, it’s all COVID’s fault,” she concluded. “So I tried my best, I had a moment like, about to blackout, but I pushed through. It is what it is. And I’m proud of myself regardless.”

“I failed! F–k! I failed,” Kardashian told attorneys Erin Haney and Jessica Jackson — who had sponsored her apprenticeship work hours — when she got the bad news. “This is really annoying.” According to TMZ, she got a score of 463 (slightly lower than the 474 she got the first time she took the test). She will need a 560 to pass.

Kardashian is now back to studying for her third shot at the exam, and this time, she really needs to pass or she could lose credit for all coursework taken up to this point. Her next (and perhaps final) exam attempt will be soon, so it’s really time for her to buckle down. Best of luck!
