Known gaps

What we have not confirmed or completed.

! Current delivery mode, question count, time limit, and passing score were not confirmed.

! Hawaii 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.

! Hawaii is recorded as not requiring a practical examination for this license, so this track is not offered as a launch exam-preparation track.
