Known gaps

What we have not confirmed or completed.

! The current board pages do not publish the written question count or time limit.

! The current board page lists task areas but does not publish section or aggregate timing.

! Oklahoma 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.

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