BEAUTY EXAM STUDIO COVERAGEpartially verified

Written: Foundation preview

Practical: Foundation preview

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

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.

Known gaps

What we have not confirmed or completed.

! The current sources do not publish question counts for either written examination.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 The statewide sources do not publish one uniform practical section list, time limit, or numeric passing threshold.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 is recorded as requiring a practical examination. Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a Oregon-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.
