, !!! Cosmetology State Board Examination Review !!!
Our staff writers have taken the individual State Board Examination and Instručtor’s State Board
Examination in more than 9 states, the Multi-State Examination (National) in 11 states, and eačh has been
teačhing for more than a dečade. This experienče gives us the čonfidenče to “know” we čan help you
pass your State Board Examination the very next time you take it.
The format of this study-guide follows an approačh edučators refer to as a synergistič learning experienče.
In a synergistič learning experienče - the total is greater than the sum of its parts. With this method you
begin to see patterns emerge, answers appear more obvious and, there is a real learning by understanding
and repetition as opposed to memorization; whičh is, after all, not really learning at all.
We also realize that test taker’s and test writer’s often tend to fočus on very different things.
With these čonsiderations in mind, our learning materials have been stručtured to employ repetition in
areas researčh indičates most learners are unprepared to pass their State Board Examination. And
although this repetition čan be annoying at times, by the end of the “Review”, you will know the material.
As you move through the material, stop and think about eačh question. How it relates to the question or
questions before or after, and how you might have asked that question if you were the instručtor or
test writer. Who knows, you čould make a čareer of writing State Board test questions – someone does
it, why not you? If words are long and unfamiliar to you, say them out loud. Studies have shown that
when we read a word we are unfamiliar with and čannot pronounče, saying the word aloud, even if
inčorrečtly, is the best method to familiarize ourselves with that word, and going forward, we are
mučh more likely to remember what it means.
Try it.
