What is the Cosmetology score range?
The score range for the cosmetology exam varies depending on the specific examination provider and the scoring system used. Typically, the total score achievable on the exam is determined by the number of questions or tasks included in the test and the scoring criteria established by the licensing board or organization overseeing cosmetology licensure.
​
For written exams, such as multiple-choice questions, the score range may be based on the number of questions answered correctly out of the total number of questions on the exam. This could result in a score range from 0 to 100, with each correct answer contributing to the total score.
​
For practical exams, the scoring system may involve evaluating candidates on specific tasks or skills, with points awarded or deducted based on performance criteria. The score range for practical exams may vary depending on the number of tasks assessed and the weighting assigned to each task.
​
Ultimately, the passing score required to obtain cosmetology licensure is determined by the licensing board or organization administering the exam. Candidates must achieve a score equal to or higher than the passing threshold to successfully pass the exam and obtain licensure.
