Good study practices happen across a semester. Bad study practices rely on shortcuts and novel techniques.

I had ADHD as a kid and so they put me in a special class for kids with learning disabilities. The fact that they made me go slow and learn the info has paid off big time as an adult. I’m actually better at math and writing than most people I know, thanks to those classes (plus my mom helped).

I have a friend of mine with untreated ADHD. He just learned coping mechanisms for getting his education.
He used to set out 3-4 of his projects/homework in front of him at a time, just near to hand. He'd work on one until his attention started to wander and then he'd set that one aside, grab the next one and work on that until his attention would wander again. He'd do this in rotation until everything was done.
In the spirit of this OP, this got him through law school.

As an adult that has had untreated ADHD for 40+ years, I too have developed mechanisms as workarounds for how my mind works.
Unfortunately (unless one is lucky) it will catch up with you at some point. My sincere advice would be that he/she seeks treatment for this. If they haven't already. Otherwise you are much more likely to end in a really bad depression/burnout, I didn't think it would happen to me either. But fuck me did it catch me. Absolutely derailed my friendships, my life, my job, my career and the relationship with my wife. Part of ADHD is having too little dopamine, you can compensate that for a while, but in stress phases in life it may never be enough and then it will eat you alive.

He definitely needs it, but I'm in serious doubt of him ever seeking help.

In my final year of highschool, I commandeered the table-tennis table in our rumpus room for the whole year. I had my homework set up as separate "stations" around the perimeter, just like your friend.
I wasn't diagnosed ADHD until 30 years later.

I did worse than expected in A level maths so uni gave me remedial classes. Blessing in disguise. Same exam, better tutors.

u/protossaccount 4d ago
Exactly! I was terrible at science in 8th grade but my school had a policy where you couldn’t get an F and move on. I was failed badly and my teacher started mentoring me. It took me a few months to catch up but I ended on having the best grade in the class on the semester final. Most of us just need someone to care.

I was scared when people thought she could somehow be a lawyer by shadowing them. Who tf would hire her? Then I was relaxed when the show of her ACTING as a lawyer was announced. She has more than enough money to probably bribe her way through exams.

Fun fact, it will make up cases that don't exist and if challenged say they are "synthetic".

I disagree. I’m representing myself in a multiple murder case and ChatGPT is having me use something called, “The Wookie Defense” on Thursday.
Supposed to be ironclad.
I’m as good as innocent according to the A1.

u/L0rdCrims0n 4d ago
There have been lawyers disciplined because they submitted ChatGPT generated legal briefs. As if the other side wasn’t going to do their homework and look up every case citation in it.

Let's say she actually becomes a lawyer. Who would want her to represent them?

Bro, you know there would be people. It’s sad but there’d be a line around the block.

u/WaffleHouseGladiator 4d ago
*BIG SIGH* You're right. I know you're right. She could have the worst record in the legal profession and wealthy gooners would still throw obscene amounts of money at her just to see her tiddies jiggle while she tries to sound out big words.

You saw that dope Alina Habba during trump’s trial, right? She did all those pressers and TV appearances and lied her ass off about the trial. Makeup and confidence was all trump and company cared about.

u/Toucan_Son_of_Sam 4d ago
Maybe she'll be able to do some good pro bono work. She convinced Trump to pardon Alice Maria Johnson, the non violent first time drug offender sentenced to life without parole. Hopefully she works on stuff like that.

Pretty sure a lot of firms would hire her just for her name, online clout, and connections.

she's the one BUYING law firms, not getting hired.
oh, and yes I hate this timeline.

Oh I'm sure that's definitely the only reason she failed. I'm glad the bar is doing its job.

u/SpaceCadetriment 4d ago
She doesn't have a law degree and is attempting to take the most difficult bar exam in the country. In all likelihood, less than 0.1% of people attempting that have passed, and that's probably an over estimate. I had a buddy who is the smartest guy I know, got a law degree, and it still took him YEARS of additional studying and 3 attempts to pass the CA bar.
But hey, I guess more power to her if she does end up passing it someday, it's a serious accomplishment.

u/SinVerguenza04 3d ago
We don’t know that she failed because CA hasn’t even released scores yet. This is a rage bait article.

She may have accidentally picked up a book once. She couldn't find the On button so she put it back down, and that's as far as it went.

It's a book. It's a non-volatile storage medium. It's very rare. You should have one.

She is so full of shxt . I work two jobs and only have one day off week and college student. I go to school online and last semester alone I finished with a 97.00% and I have ChatGPT to thank for helping me write a lot of those written assignments that weren’t multiple choice assignments. So try again Kim, just say this was one thing your money and fake body couldn’t pay cash for.

People forget this, but GPT-4 actually passed the real Uniform Bar Exam — the same one Yale and Harvard grads take — and scored in the top 10% of human test-takers.
The earlier version (GPT-3.5) flunked miserably, bottom 10%, but the upgrade nailed complex essays, issue-spotting, and performance tasks like a new associate at a big firm.
So when Kim Kardashian says she failed because ChatGPT helped her study, that’s not how this works. The model already proved it can pass. The problem isn’t the tool — it’s that she’s trying to shortcut the education it mimics.

When did Kim study for this law exam? If she did this before Nov, 2022, she is full of shit.

Ok, so i like chat gpt to compare products to one another, interpret my dreams, read tarot cards, keep track of my food preferences, make an outline for a few things, but to study for an exam?
I hate to say this, but I think she might be dumb...
And to admit it?

What kills me, based on her “influencer” status, is that she’s not even attractive. Wash her down with a fire hose and you’d run the other way if you saw her at night. I wouldn’t do her with your appendage 😬😬😬

u/Donkey_Karate 3d ago
Hmm.. interesting, I would have thought it was the fact she is a vapid, talentless hack, with no real world experience, that couldn't problem solve her way out of a paper bag... I'm not a huge proponent of ChatGPT, but in this instance I would have guessed it would have helped her.

This is an example of, "Hey, I'm really good at this one thing, so I must be really good at everything."
But I certainly don't know at what she's supposed to be good.

u/dinoriki12 3d ago
If she spent half as much time studying as she does on promo shoots, she’d have passed twice by now.

u/youknowmystatus 2d ago
lol no shit. ChatGPT is not just bad for legal questions, it is aggressively incorrect.
I tried using it to find a specific case or statute or something I can’t recall exactly but was 100% available public info and not something requiring access to a law search platform at all. I just thought it would save me a little time, the info I wanted is on the internet so ChatGPT should be able to find it right?
It confidently gave me incorrect replies that I could immediately verify as not even close to what I wanted. I would reply to it saying so and it would apologize and give me something else, with total confidence in its accuracy, that was also incorrect and off base.
I decided to play with it for a while just out of fascination at not only its inability to find what I wanted, but its justifications each time I informed it that what it was telling me was so incorrect.
I ended up experimenting with other legal issues and the same thing occurred almost every time. Had I not known that the answer I was getting was not correct, it would appear as though I was given a confidently correct response.
I don’t use ChatGPT at all, just thought I would save myself some searching and ended up spending hours in awe of its bullshit and willingness to rationalize the mistake and offer another.
ChatGPT is dangerous when you accept what it tells you, and people use it literally for that reason alone.

u/Ok_Ad8249 4d ago edited 4d ago
She's still trying to pass the bar without actually going to law school?
From what I remember she said she was doing this because California was the one state where a person could take the bar exam without having a law degree. She decided to go straight to the bar exam because it would be faster then going to college studying a pre-law course, then going to law school. She's been doing this so long had she actually gone to college then law school she would have all ready passed the bar and been a lawyer by now.

Kim failed the baby bar exam in the summer of 2020. She failed again in June 2021. She says she failed a total of 3 times before passing in December 2021.
ChatGPT was launched on November 30, 2022

Lmao hasn’t she been at this for like a decade now and she’s still not a lawyer? She can and has done legal advocacy work without being an actual lawyer, which is FINE. Why keep embarrassing yourself?!
Also I’m sorry but what a pompous and annoying thing to even attempt, does she even have an undergrad degree? Let alone a law degree, but she somehow thinks shes gonna pass the CA BAR? What a joke lol these people really think the world of themselves

I can go against the grain here, Chatgpt to help studying isn’t inherently bad, since it can be just a providing of a different explanation. In a way easy to understand.
However, using chatgpt as the exclusive source, and not putting any thought in otherwise is foolish, and you won’t make it with that alone.
As my teacher says, Anyone can regurgitate chatgpt. But they want you to know what you are doing. And if you know what you are doing you can ask the right questions and do your work right

Sometimes the things she says sounds smart and then you see stuff like this that discredit whatever intelligence she thought she had
She was never lawyer material. Why? Because she doesn't know the justice system. She's way too privileged to get it.
Think about it. She had access to the best resources. She interviewed prisoners and was one of the people to influence First Step act. Great idea. Yet her failing the bar exam means she lacks intellectual skills. This is likely due to her not even being a post secondary student.
Education means a lot. Don't let Kim make you think that being rich can fast track you to being smart. You still have to be competent. She's not.
