Known gaps

The launch experience provides general foundation practice only; users must confirm current content, timing, scoring, and procedures with the official board or testing provider.
! Nebraska'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.
