25 state board style questions, every answer explained.
This is a real, free cosmetology practice test: 25 questions across infection control, hair and scalp, skin, and nails, the core sciences every state's written exam draws from. You answer, you immediately see why the right answer is right, and when you picked wrong, why that choice fails. No signup, no email, no timer.
25 questions across infection control, hair and scalp, skin, and nails, one at a time, with the explanation shown after every answer. It is the same free practice set the app gives you, so what you see here is what the full bank is like. No email, no signup, no timer.
Rereading notes builds recognition. The written exam measures recall under a clock, and the fastest way to build recall is answering questions and immediately reading why each option is right or wrong. That loop, answer then explanation, is the entire method behind this page and behind the app it samples.
These 25 questions are the app's actual free practice set, not a separate teaser written to look easy. What you see here is what the full bank is like: original questions grounded in official sources and standard cosmetology science, with an explanation that names why every wrong choice is wrong.
25 questions is a signal, not a verdict. Use it to find which subjects need work, then practice those at full length. Texas, for example, runs 100 questions in 120 minutes with a 70 percent pass mark; other states set their own formats, usually with pass marks around 70 to 75 percent. Check your state board or exam vendor for your exact rules.
Two subjects decide most passes: infection control, because every state weights it heavily, and the science of the services you will perform. The written exam guide breaks down what the exam covers, and the how to pass guide turns it into a plan.
Is this practice test really free?
Yes. No signup, no email, no card. It is the same free practice set the app ships, published here so you can see the quality before installing anything.
Which topics does it cover?
Infection control, hair and scalp, skin, and nails: the core sciences every state's written exam draws from. State law questions are state specific, so they are not in this sample; the app adds a dedicated Texas law and rules section for Texas candidates.
Is this practice test timed?
No. This page is for learning, so it shows the explanation after every answer instead of racing you. The app's mock exams run against the clock at realistic length, which is how you should practice in your final two weeks.
Where do these questions come from?
They are original questions written for the app, grounded in official current sources and standard cosmetology science, and checked against those sources before they ship. They are not copied from any real exam or any textbook.
The app is an independent study aid. Not affiliated with or endorsed by any licensing board or exam provider. Practice content is aligned to publicly available exam outlines and standard cosmetology science.
