Although every state has its own Board of Cosmetology which determines the licensing exam for that state, no state actually develops their own exam. And many states do not even Adminmister their own exam. Rather, all 50 states use the licensing exam developed by one of the following two companies.
38 states use the written test as developed by the National Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology (http://www.nictesting.org/).
12 states use the written test as developed by Experior Assessments.
The exams developed by these two companies test the same material, so that no matter where you went to school, the subjects taught in your school should be the same as those tested on yur State Board Examination.
The written Cosmetology Exam consists of 100 questions. And the topics covered are: Scientific Concepts (anatomy, biology, chemistry, electricity), Hair Care & Service, Skin Care & Service, and Nail Care & Service.
In many states, the failure rate for FIRST TIME exam takers is 40%. Yes 40%.
In states such as California, Florida, New York , and Texas, the failure rate is even higher.
A recent national statistic showed that even among individuals taking the test for the second or third time, the passing rate was not a great deal better.
Failure rates for this group were approaching 30%.
These statistics all add up to one thing:
at least 1 out of every 3 people who take the Cosmetology State Board Examination will fail it!
