Known gaps

What we have not confirmed or completed.

! Indiana 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.

! Indiana's practical requirements are listed from reviewed public sources, but Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a state-specific practical task pack for this jurisdiction. The New York sequence and timers are never substituted for another state.

Beauty Exam Studio is an independent educational product. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Indiana, its licensing board, or its examination providers. Practice results do not guarantee licensure or exam performance.
