Oregon licenses separate fields rather than an umbrella cosmetology credential. A Hair Design applicant takes the Hair Design field examination and the Oregon Laws and Rules examination at the Health Licensing Office; each examination is separately scored and requires 75 percent.
Oregon recognizes a board-approved practical examination administered by the applicant's school. The school submits proof that the applicant passed before the written examinations are taken.

Known gaps
! The current sources do not publish question counts for either written examination.
! The statewide sources do not publish one uniform practical section list, time limit, or numeric passing threshold.
! Oregon 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.
! Oregon'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.
