Common questions
Is the practice test really free?
Yes. Every track includes 10 free questions with explanations, and you do not need an account to try them. Full access to the complete question bank is a one-time purchase.
Are the questions specific to my state?
Yes. Mock exams follow your state's published exam blueprint — question mix, timing, and pass mark — and include reviewed state-law modules where available.
What topics are on the written exam?
Written exams usually cover infection control, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, client consultation, services for the selected license type, and state law where your board publishes it.
Does this help with PSI or NIC-style exams?
Yes. The practice is built around state board written-exam blueprints and common PSI, NIC, and state-vendor theory topics, while still asking you to verify the current candidate bulletin for your state.
Can I study in Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean or Chinese?
Yes. The course app supports English, Spanish, Vietnamese, Korean, and Simplified Chinese study pages. Official exam language availability depends on the state and testing vendor.
Are these official exam questions?
No. These are original study questions, not recalled questions or official exam items. They are designed to teach the tested concepts and rules without copying a live exam.
Which exams does this cover?
This covers the written (theory) portion of the Cosmetology, Nail Technician, and Esthetician state board exams. Each track starts with free practice questions and follows your state's published blueprint. Practical (hands-on) exam coaching is not included.
How much does full access cost?
Full access is $29 for 90 days — one flat payment, no subscription and no automatic renewal. That is roughly what typical $30–$40-per-month prep subscriptions charge for a single month.
How many questions is the state board written exam?
It varies by state and testing vendor. A typical written exam runs 100–120 multiple-choice questions in about 90–120 minutes — for example, the NIC national theory exams use 110 questions in 90 minutes. The mock exam follows your state's published format.
What score do I need to pass the written exam?
Most states set the written pass mark around 70–75%. Confirm the current number in your state board's candidate bulletin — the mock exam applies your state's published pass mark where available.
