Known gaps

What we have not confirmed or completed.

! The board-hosted testing manual is dated 2020 and no newer primary candidate bulletin was located.

! A current question count and time limit were not confirmed.

! The rules describe a scaled score of 70, not a confirmed percentage.

! A current primary practical candidate bulletin identifying the provider, sections, timing, and kit was not located.

! The rules describe scaled scores of 70, not confirmed percentages.

! Mississippi 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.

! Mississippi is recorded as requiring a practical examination. Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a Mississippi-specific practical task pack, so this is general foundation practice: the AI coach reviews universal technique and safety fundamentals only. Your state's required task sequence, timing, kit list, and scoring are not modeled here, and another state's sequence is never substituted. Confirm current procedures with the official board or testing provider.
