Kim Kardashian told her 269 million Instagram followers Monday that she passed California's "baby bar" exam on the fourth try.

The First-Year Law Students' Examination helps assess the preparation of lawyers-to-be for a given state's bar exam. Kardashian broke the good news with a glamorous picture posted to social media.

"...I am really proud of the woman looking back today," Kardashian wrote. "For anyone who doesn't know my law school journey, know this wasn't easy or handed to me. 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 third attempt was hampered by having COVID and a 104-degree fever, she explained, while adding she's "not making excuses."

Kardashian then explained: "In California, the way I’m studying law you need to take 2 bar exams, this was just the first one but with the harder pass rate. I was told by top lawyers that this was a close to impossible journey and harder than the traditional law school route but it was my only option..."

She added that it feels "so so sooooo good to be here and on my way to achieving my goals."

The daughter of famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Kardashian also noted her dad "would be so proud" and "so shocked to know that this is my path now."

"He would have been my best study partner," she noted. "I am told he was notorious for making fun of people who didn't pass on their first attempt like he did, but he would have been my biggest cheerleader!"

She closed with, "Bottom line is don’t ever give up even when you are holding on by a thread, you can do it!!!!! Set your mind to it and get it done because it feels soooooo good once you get to the other side!"

Kardashian first revealed she was studying for the bar exam in 2019.
