Known gaps
! The board page does not publish a numeric passing score.
! California is recorded as requiring a written examination, but Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a state-specific written content pack. The launch experience provides general foundation practice only; users must confirm current content, timing, scoring, and procedures with the official board or testing provider.
! California is recorded as not requiring a practical examination for this license, so this track is not offered as a launch exam-preparation track.
