What must an applicant do if they fail to pass any part of the cosmetology examination?

If an applicant fails to pass any part of the cosmetology examination, the appropriate step is to file an application for re-examination. This process allows candidates to demonstrate their acquired knowledge and skills again in order to achieve the passing score required to obtain their cosmetology license.

Filing a re-examination application is a standard procedure in licensing tests, providing a structured opportunity for candidates to prepare and retake the test without the need to withdraw from their training program or wait for an extended period such as six months. This system encourages continuous learning and improvement in the field of cosmetology.

The ability to request a review of answers is typically limited and may not be available for the examination process, making re-application the most viable and constructive pathway for candidates looking to succeed.
