Hi All,

Does anyone know? If you fail the California test for the first and retake it for the second time, do we get the same test or a different exam?

Thank you so much!

I just took and passed the exam on Friday. I studied exclusively off of the quiz on stateboardhelp.com and I had seen most of the questions on the exam after taking the quiz about 50 times. Good Luck!

Jenna, what school did you go to in Utah? I'm going to school in Provo for 1200 hours but I really can't stand it here and want to take my 600 and go. How was the test for you???

Jenna in Provo, Utah said: i went to esthetics school in utah and moving back to cali to take my written test but i have noo clue what to study for since utahs state board is so different. can someone PLEASE HELP ME!!!

thanks soo much!!

how about overtime pay?

i went to dallas roberts, i havent taken the test yet it takes 8 weeks but as soon as you have your 600 hours you can send in the papers to california. i take my test the 2nd week of april.

Just to let you know the re-examination fee went from $40 to $75 in California.

Hello, I just took my state board exam and passed. =) what was most beneficial for me was going to a website called stateboardquiz.com. It's free to use and gives you a 20 question test and each time you log on its a different one. ALOT of the questions on this site are asked at state board.. And as far as the practical, don't stress, just focus mainly on cleanliness, like washing yuor hands. You can't do it enough so if you forget a step or something just go wash your hands and gather your thoughts..No Worries, you'll do good if you believe in yourself!!!

Sonia..ever not get unpaid overtime in California?

whats going on in virginia? is there a state board exam????

I live in illinois I need to know when the next one is i Chicago IL after april could someone let me know.

Thanks Gwen

jessica in Huntington Beach, California said: i have taken my test 3 times and cannot pass it. my last score was a 68 so i missed it by 2! i was so mad. it bothers me because you cannot see what you got wrong each time you take it. any suggestions? im close to passing but not close enough.

How many chances do you get to take the test? What exactly does an esty do? How is the pay? Do you get paid hourly?

Because I havn't started school, I wonder how much they truly prepare you for the exam, since there are so many general questions.

Also, the school that I plan to attend SBCC Cosmetology Academy has changed their materials from MILADY to THE PIVOT POINT Book Package. Has anyone else had experience with these educational material, if so how was your experience with passing the exam?

Thanks for your help.

Tracie in Hayward, California said: That sounds great. Did you get the license for all states or just Cali. Sounds like you are doing great. Have you done any eyelash extensions?
Oh, the test was a piece of cake. I freaked out for nothing :}

HEY TRACIE!

THANKS!

do you remember some of the questions

lizzy in Los Angeles, California said: Can anybody give me a heads up on what I should focus on for the California Exam?

Thank you so much!

Yes, you should focus on sanitation and sterilization practices. They watch this carefully. Since you don't know which of the three tests they will give you it's best to study and memorize as much as possible. My experience anyway - was to check inventory of your test bag - if they miss putting something in there you won't be allowed to do that particular service (like no wax - no wax serice) and they will ding your test score... hope this helps.

Does anyone know the difference between the CA test and the Hawaii Test? I am moving there and don't know what to expect..

Hello ladies...I moved to France right after school so never ended up taking my test but am re-applying for it now. I have signed up for miladys online prep for the written part but really need help with the practical. I bought a DVD but it lacks in small details... If anyone can help with all the steps and small details of the pratical. As well I am still in France at the moment but was interested in taking a refresher course or hiring a private tutor if anyone would be interested. I will be in Southern California anywhere from San Clemente to Huntington if someone would be interested in tutoring me...you can e-mail me as well at nellierenwick@yahoo.com any advice will be good. Thanks

I have the steps for the practical if you would like I can US Mail them to you or can fax them....

Thanks from San Diego

OMG can you mail them to me as well!! I need to take it too and during my move all the steps and notes I had got lost. I need to take both practical and written and my book was stolen. I will just study on Mylady but if you had the steps for the practical could you send me them??

Thank you sooo very much!! =)

I took the CA written test back in May-07 and i study off of miladys.com I signed up for the practice tests to help me study and it seriously helped me out alot. i also used my books from school as well as all my notes. i studied at least 5-6 hrs a day for a little over a month. Basically study everything. Especially diseases, skin disorders, electricity, know the temp for washing towels, know the three sanitation (dis, san and ster. thats how i remembered it. disinfect, sanitize and sterilize. ) also what i did was when i knew i got an answer write i'd note the question # and if i knew it was rt, a ? if i was unsure and if i guessed i noted it as incorrect. and that also helped me tellie up on whether i was doing good or not. Hopefully this will help those that will be taking the esthetician test soon. If you have any questions you may e-mail me @ emagallanez1@hotmail.com
Best of Luck!

Hello I got my eshthetician diploma in 04 and have not taken my state board ezam yet , I'm wondering if any one knows of a website where I can purchase a dvd that shows me the procedure for the practical,any information would help thank you

Hi everyone:
If you read the past comments you can see
many answer.For example about your question you can go to internet and look for face to face esthetician kit or dvd for the procedures and for the test in California go to internet and look for stateboardquiz.com . You can find 90 % of the question from the test there. This is because it is the real page from the board for esthetician. All test in California are the seen also if you need take the test again it is the seen every time,PLEASSE LOOK EVERY COMMENT, GOOD LUCK!

Mary? I dont understand, where do you live?, In U.S.A or Peru?

Bien, yo estudie la carrera en Peru y luego tuve que estudiar aqui por la licencia de trabajo, pase mis dos examenes hace dos meses, puedo decirte que la carrera es muy facil e interesante, todo depende de cuantas ganas tengas de hacer algo, en este caso te comento me encanta, a los 19 anos tuve un caso de acne lo que me hizo sentir avergonzada y triste pues me sentia extrana, decidi ir a un especialista de la piel, fue un dermatologo, con los meses mejore mucho y el me aconsejo ir a una esteticista para mantener el cuidado de mi piel, conoci a una magnifica esteticista, Carmen fue muy profesional y me enseno los correctos pasos para mantener mi piel, ahora tengo 32 anos pero creci libre del acne gracias a una profesional de la belleza, esto me motivo para estudiar esta carrera en el ano 2004, 4 anos atras, me encanta me gusta y me da grandes satisfacciones poder ayudar a otras personas con su piel, su imagen y sobre todo su auto estima, en esta carrera puedes hacer mucho, ayudas con pacientes con cancer que perdieron un busto y necesitan hacerle el maquillaje permanente para la aureola mamaria, decoloracion de la piel como vitiligo, cicatrices en donde puedes ayudar con una terapia de camuflage para ocultar los problemas que muchas veces desfiguran un rostro, es decir hay mucho por hacer, si te gusta y tienes pasion te digo es una carrera rentable, satisfactoria y de ayuda social segun sea el campo en el que quieras aplicar, buena suerte y espero haberte ayudado, este es mi email brujax100pre@hotmail.com para lo que necesites, un abrazo

Good Luck!

I took the exam 3 different times and they were all the same test!

Did anyone else have the same problem as me? I was the top student in my class at school and passed the test in that state with flying colors. But when I came back home to CA and took the test here, I found a lot of questions where I thought, "Oh, I totally know the answer to this..." but my answer wasn't there and there wasn't anything similar. I failed by one point! AH!

YES that did happen to me Maddy. it took me all three times to pass. When i told my instructor i didn't passed he was shocked. they say the CA is the hardest test out of all states to pass.

Hi all:
I agree with you. The esthetician test in C.A is very tricky, but I recomment to us if you are taking your test in C.A go online and find the question from stateboardquiz.com . The 90% of the question will be in your test for sure.
I think is not important if you dont pass it the first time. The most important is what do you know about your career and always you learn something.
I didnt pass my test the first time but the second time I felt more relax and I passed my test very tranquil.
Sonia.

Are you absolutely certain that 90% of questions will be on stateboard? As well if anyone can answer a few of these questions.

1. Extra supplies needed besides rented kit are?

2. Do models have a room to Change

3. Is the derma light facial only with the red light?

4. After each assignment do we put all products back into bags and then back into kit?.

5. We will have a choice of Scrub Facial or Derma light facial...Is there also plain facial and what are those steps???? As I imagine the same as scrub facial minus the scrub???

6. Should we pack our own make up
