Reviewed beta packages are state-specific practice. Foundation previews are general preparation only; not currently offered tracks are not available. Practice results never predict or guarantee passing.
WRITTEN EXAM

required

Nevada requires a profession-specific theory examination for first-time applicants in the paths identified by the board and a Nevada state-law examination for every first Nevada license. Both are offered at Pearson VUE locations.

Known gaps

What we have not confirmed or completed.

! The board does not publish a current theory question count or time limit on the pages reviewed.

! A time limit for the 25-question state-law examination was not published.

! The current board pages and regulation do not publish one total time or service-level timings.

! Nevada 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.

! Nevada is recorded as requiring a practical examination. Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a Nevada-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.
