3 Things You Must Do To Pass Your Cosmetolgy State Board Exam

If you are like most students, your instructors probably did a fine job of teaching you the basics of "how to do hair".
Sadly, if you are like many students, those same instructors probably failed to teach you "how to pass the State Board Examination".
And unless you do something about it, their failure will become yours.

The 3 Things You Must Do:

1 - Learn what to study.
And what not to study. Don't waste your time studying the wrong information.

2 - Learn what to memorize.
You cannot memorize it all. Many have tried, all have failed.

3 - Learn the tested concepts.
Once understood, a concept can be applied to an endless number of questions.

Here is a quick example of why you need to learn the concept, not memorize the question. First we pose the question followed by the correct answer, then we give 9 variations of that question. At least one of these variations will be on your exam.

Question:
What is the opposite of yellow?
Answer:
Violet

Variations:
1- What color can be used to neutralize yellow?
2- What is the Compliment of yellow?
3- What color lies directly opposite violet on the color wheel?
4 - What is the compliment of violet?
5- If a client's hair shows a yellow cast, what color toner can be used to correct this cast creating a platinum shade?
6- If a client's hair has a light orange shade and you apply a violet toner what shade will result (hint: it is not the platinum shade she wants)?
7- What color is found directly opposite yellow on the color wheel?
8- What color is the opposite of violet?
9- A client's hair has lightened to pale orange, what toner color should be applied to neutralize the orange?

Here are 10 questions on 1 simple idea: Yellow is the Opposite / Compliment of Violet. And this is how the State Board questions are written. There is nothing new. But if you are memorizing questions without really understanding concepts, you will be retaking the exam. Possibly more than once.
