How do I get my Cosmetology test results?
To obtain your Cosmetology exam results, the process varies by state and testing center, but here are some general guidelines based on New York's procedures which can be indicative of common practices:
-
Written Exam Results: After completing your written Cosmetology exam, you won't immediately receive your score at the test center. Instead, you'll be notified by email when your results are ready, and you will then access them online through your specific account on the state's licensing services portal, such as NY.gov for New York State​​​​.
-
Practical Exam Results: Similarly, for the practical exam, you won't find out your results at the test center. You will receive an email notification when your results are available, and you'll need to log into your account on the state licensing website to view them​​.
-
Retaking Exams: If you need to retake either part of the exam, you can schedule another exam through the same online system where you access your results​​.
-
Notification Timeline: The timeline for when you'll get your results can vary, so it's essential to regularly check your email and the licensing portal after taking the exam.
Always check with your state's specific procedures as they can vary. For instance, the New York Department of State's website provides detailed information for candidates in that state. Similarly, you should consult the website or contact the cosmetology board of your state for the most accurate and relevant information regarding your exam results.
