Applicants make many mistakes when preparing for, and taking, the Cosmetology State Board Examination. That is why so many have to take the exam more than once. Remember, the State Board only requires your school to maintain a 70% pass rate.
That means the school is allowed a 30% failure rate.
Put another way, 1 out of every 3 people can - and will - fail their State Board Examination. This is allowed and considered normal.
Below we have listed the 5 most common mistakes students make when preparing for the exam.
1 - Memorizing questions,
with the mistaken impression that these same questions, these exact same questions, will be on your State Board Examination - they won't. Because the State Board has those same questions (has had them - and not used them), for years. You need new questions, questions the State Board doesn't have yet. They will have them soon enough, but not this month.
2 - Focusing to much time and energy on the wrong chapter or chapters.
Many chapters go untested year after year. Know one knows why. But it is how the system works. Learn to work it.
3 - Not focusing enough time and energy on the right chapter or chapters.
4 - Focusing on the wrong information in the right chapter or chapters.
Example: do you know which 4 sentence paragraph in the Chemical Relaxer Chapter (Milady) contains 3 common State Board Exam questions? If you do not, try to find this information.
5 - Wasting time thinking you have time, you don't.
The test is closer than you think. Everyone is happy, calm, and relaxed in school - right up until 1 month before the big test.
Then Panic sets in!
Warning:
If you and two friends are taking the exam on the same day, drive in separate cars. When one of you fails, and one of you probably will, you don't want to be trapped in that vehicle.
