Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the US nail technician license exam
What is the US nail technician license exam?
A state-administered written test (and, in most states, a separate hands-on practical). Format and length differ by state. Texas (TDLR via PSI): 60 graded multiple-choice questions, 90 minutes, 70% to pass. California (BBC via PSI): 60 scored questions, 90 minutes, 75% to pass — California abolished its practical in 2022 (SB 803), written-only since. New York (NY Department of State, not PSI): 150-minute written exam, results reported PASS / FAIL only (no numerical score), passing result valid for 5 years; a separate practical exam (mannequin hand only — live models prohibited) is also required.
Which state exam does Easy Nail Pass™ cover?
Texas (TDLR), California (BBC), and New York (DOS) are live. Our content is built on the National-Interstate Council (NIC) standard that most states reference, plus state-specific rules layered on top. Pick the state where you will work — the core science and procedures are identical; only the laws differ.
Is the exam offered in Korean?
Some states offer translated written exams (Texas, for example, offers Korean and Vietnamese), but the wording can still trip up non-native English speakers — especially the chemistry and disorder terminology. Easy Nail Pass™ shows every question in English alongside your chosen language (Korean, Spanish, or Vietnamese), with explanations of the technical terms in your language so you understand the meaning, not just memorize the sounds.
How much does it cost?
$29.99 for 90 days — one-time payment, no subscription, no auto-renewal. Compare to Mometrix at $39.99/month — that's $120 for the same 90 days, so Easy Nail Pass is roughly 75% cheaper. The free tier gives you the first 5 questions per category and 1 free mock exam to try before paying.
What is the difference between the written and practical exam?
The written theory exam is multiple-choice and tests what you know — infection control, nail anatomy, product chemistry, state laws. The practical exam is hands-on and tests what you can do — manicure procedure, sanitation setup, nail enhancements (acrylic, gel). Easy Nail Pass™ focuses on the written exam, where bilingual study makes the biggest difference. For the practical, we recommend in-person school hours.
What is the passing score?
Varies by state. Texas TDLR: 70% (42 of 60 graded questions). California BBC: 75% (45 of 60). New York DOS: PASS / FAIL only — no numerical score is given (per the NY DOS handbook); passing result is valid 5 years. Our mock exams use the matching benchmark for each state so practice mirrors test day.
