The tools students use every night in the 30 days before their test.
Connecticut uses the Prometric exam, which requires 75% or higher to pass. Practicing at least 10% above that on SGS mock exams is the sweet spot students who pass on the first try hit.
Connecticut requires 1000 training hours for barbering, along with completing the Prometric exam (written only). Minimum age is 16.
Every SGS practice question is mapped to the same topic categories Prometric uses: Hair Cutting and Styling; Health and Safety (Sanitation, Infection Control); Shaving and Facial Hair Services; Chemical Services. Your progress dashboard shows which categories you're strong in and which need work before test day.

One common pitfall I've seen Connecticut candidates fall into is underestimating the practical side of Hair Cutting & Styling, which is your largest exam category at 30%. They might memorize terms and theories but struggle when asked to apply them to different hair types or scenarios. My advice? Don't just read about cutting layers; visualize yourself doing it. Think about the angles, the tension, and how you'd adapt for different hair textures. Practice explaining your cutting and styling choices out loud, as if you're demonstrating to a client or examiner.
