I am sure when I don't take the bar exam, they will all talk about how I couldn't hack the exam or some other crazy thing. Funny how people act sometimes, eh?
You might think about making that clear, or they might just assume you couldn't pass the bar exam. Personally, I would rather that people know the facts. I completed all the requirements for a PhD but decided at the last minute that although I enjoyed the educational process, I didn't want to be identified that way so I let the deadline pass without formally turning in my dissertation. Probably not too different from your situation.
FWIW, Jerry Brown (California governor), Pete Wilson (former California governor), Hillary Clinton, JFK Jr., Michelle Obama, FDR, Benjamin Cardozo (former Supreme Court justice), Ed Koch (former NYC mayor), and many other very famous people all failed a bar exam at least once.
