Starting cosmetology school? Already in cosmetology school? You should take a cosmetology state board practice test. The sooner you start practicing for the 2023 cosmetology state board exam, the better you’ll feel when the day arrives, and the better you’ll do. 🏆
How soon should you take a practice test? How about your first day of cosmetology school.
Well, OK. Maybe the first day of school is for opening your kit, meeting new friends, and experimenting with your new cosmo tools. But there’s no reason you can’t take a cosmetology state board practice test the second day. Or the second week. Or as SOON as possible. Get started now! Right here.
Cosmetology state board test
Start practicing now for 2023!
The best way to practice for your cosmetology state board exam is to get a state board app that gives you immediate feedback on your answers—both correct and incorrect. You can do that with the Filmbook® State Board app.
Immediate feedback really locks in your learning. Just like you lock in a double process color. Here’s an example of immediate, helpful feedback on state board questions:


With the Filmbook State Board app you’ll be more confident when you encounter tricky state board exam questions like these:


Think you’ll just cram the week before your cosmetology exam?
Sorry. Won’t work. Here’s why: Repetitio Est Mater Studiorum
That’s Latin for “Repetition is the Mother of All Learning.” Yep, the ancient Romans knew that there’s no substitute for doing your reps.
Modern brain research continues to confirm that regular practice locks learning into your long-term memory. That’s the place in your brain where it sticks, so you can pull it out right when you need it. Like when you’re sitting in that state board examination room.
Last-minute, late-night cramming for the cosmetology test ain’t it chief.
Here’s what that will get you:
- Mental overload
- Poor recall
- Physical fatigue
- Careless mistakes
- Wasted money on coffee and energy drinks
😱
You don’t want to cram for the cosmetology state board. The solution: practice tests, every week. The solution: a cosmetology state board app that lets you study and practice on the go.
Remember: If you stay ready, you don’t have to get ready.
Take a new cosmetology state board practice test every week.
Or every day! With the Filmbook State Board app you can.
You see, passing the cosmetology state board test is more than just knowing the material. Build your testing muscles. Feel strong and confident when exam day comes. When you practice, this will happen.
Even if it’s your first week of cosmetology school and you’re just starting to learn, you can still take a state board practice test to see what it’s like.
Why not? Who cares if you don’t pass the practice test? It doesn’t count. Maybe you’ll even surprise yourself with your score.
To build your confidence, a cosmetology state board practice test needs to mimic the real state board test as closely as possible.
What does a good cosmetology state board practice test contain?
A whole lot. Here’s a list:
- Multiple choice questions and answers that appear in random order.
- Challenging questions on anatomy, chemistry, electricity, physiology, cosmetology theory, color theory, and infection control—plus hair, skin, scalp, and nail diseases and disorders. Yeah. You have to know all that.
- Helpful feedback on both right and wrong answers. Yes, you can get feedback as you’re taking practice tests. Plus, there’s a built-in cosmetology exam book, too, with even more feedback, right at your fingertips.
- State-specific laws and rules questions.
- Time constraints on the test.

State board warm-up quizzes
With the Filmbook State Board app, you can take 20-question warm-up quizzes that are “open book.” Yes, Filmbook has a cosmetology exam book right in the app. And that book is loaded with need-to-know info on the cosmetology state board.
So when you’re taking a state board warm-up quiz and you get stuck, you can look in the book for the answer. And you can take as much time as you need to find that answer.
No sweat. Like we said, this is a warm-up quiz. With answers and feedback right there to help you learn.
Unlimited, timed state board quizzes
The Filmbook State Board app also gives you unlimited 50-question and 100-question timed quizzes. And these questions cover all the cosmetology state board topics. ALL of them. You’re working against the clock. Just like you will during the real cosmetology state board test.
You can take an unlimited number of these quizzes. UNLIMITED. More is more. You need to build your test-taking muscles.
The 50-question quiz gives you just 3 book looks. The 100-question quiz is closed book. The real thing. But that’s not all.
These questions and the answers appear in random order. Read on to learn why randomized order is so important to your state board success.
Randomized state board questions and answers
Ever used a cosmetology state board app that doesn’t present the questions or the answers in random order?
That doesn’t work.
Your brain remembers the question the way it was presented the first time. So all these apps do is feed you the same questions with the same answers in the same order. Over and over.
That’s NOT learning. That’s NOT state board practice. That’s doing the same thing over and over again—and expecting different results.
Every single quiz in the Filmbook State Board app gives you state board questions—and the multiple choice answers—in random order. And that helps train your brain. So you can get better, faster.
Helpful state board feedback
Let’s say you’re taking a cosmetology state board practice test. Ever wished you had some helpful background on the correct answer? So you could really understand all the tough state board stuff?
You’ll find it in the Filmbook State Board app.
In fact, Filmbook State Board is the ONLY cosmetology state board app that gives you feedback about the answer and links you to the exact page in the book where you can learn even more. (Remember, Filmbook State Board has a cosmetology exam book right in the app.)
According to learning science research, specific and immediate feedback helps you learn challenging subject matter faster. Cosmetology is challenging.
Take pityriasis capitis and pityriasis steatoides. Do you know what those cosmetology terms mean?


Plus, you can deepen your knowledge about all the need-to-know state board info by reviewing your previously completed quizzes. The Filmbook State Board app saves all your work for you.
