Krissy’s Next Hurdle: The Theory Portion of her State Cosmetology Boards

Published: December 12, 2008

With the practical portion of her Michigan State Cosmetology Boards successfully completed, our correspondent, recent beauty school graduate Krissy Simmons, prepared to take the written test or “theory” portion. As much as Krissy was eager to

become a professional cosmetologist, she was not looking forward to this exam. She was all signed up, thanks to PSIExams.com, and turned to former classmates who’d already taken the test for advice on how to prepare.

“I found a huge difference of opinion!” Krissy exclaims. “One friend had studied quite vigorously and still didn’t feel confident walking into the testing center, while another didn’t even look over any study material and ended up finishing the test in seven minutes with the confidence that she’d passed. I decided to take my cue from my friend Marie, who had reviewed a mini-study guide that was included in the kits we received when we started school. Marie said that it helped her out.”

Krissy’s best intentions, though, didn’t serve up much in the way of results. She continues, “For a week, I took the guide with me everywhere I went. But I would start looking at it and just fall asleep! Needless to say, I didn’t get much studying accomplished and, therefore, I wasn’t as confident as I could have been going into my theory exam.” So, relying almost entirely on her memory of what she’d learned in beauty school, Krissy entered the testing room, where next time we’ll pick up on her adventures.
