hi girls! I have an entrance exam next month for beauty school and i'm super nervous, can anyone tell me if they've ever taken one and what's it like? I tried looking up some info on google, but not much luck :/ any help would be greatly appreciated xo
They just want to see if you have a general idea about cosmetology. The one I took was super outdated and just asked rings like what color lipstick goes with this color eyeshadow, I think there were a few math questions, a few comprehension questions,? Super easy don't worry they just want to make sure you will be able to make it through the theory classes basically! Good luck and enjoy school it's quite an experience:) haha
Of all the schools I checked out only 1 had an entrance exam. I think it was cuz it was such a busy school and there was a wait list to get in, so maybe it helped them weed out the people who wouldn't cut it?
I had to take one for esthitician school and it was just silly
Questions to see how well your critical thinking
Skills are. Don't worry I'm sure you'll do great!
We took a test.. But it's nothing to sweat about. The most difficult part of cosmetology school is staying focused. Being around a bunch of girls is really negative.. I've never been picked on in my life and they would victimize me since I'm thin hahah. I'm 20 and I'm financially independent and I have adult problems.. Many girls will bitch and moan about EVERYTHING. I'm taking a break since I have family issues that need to be addressed and school added too much stress... But I am a very focused student.
Stay motivated and think about why you're doing it everyday! Many girls can't handle the pressure! Be strong :)
