Your SGS dashboard tracks your score in each of these categories so you know exactly where to study.
The tools students use every night in the 30 days before their test.
Indiana uses the PSI 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.
Indiana requires 450 training hours for nail technology, along with completing the PSI exam (written + practical). Minimum age is 18.
Every SGS practice question is mapped to the same topic categories PSI uses: Nail Care Procedures (Manicure, Pedicure); Health and Safety (Sanitation, Infection Control); Nail Enhancements; Nail Anatomy and Disorders. Your progress dashboard shows which categories you're strong in and which need work before test day.
Yes. SGS works in any mobile browser — no app install required. Flashcards, practice tests, and The Final Look exam all work on iPhone, Android, and tablet. Save your seat in The Lounge to sync progress across devices.
A frequent stumble for Indiana candidates is underestimating the detail required for Nail Care Procedures. Because it's the largest single topic at 30%, many students assume they know enough just from practicing. However, the exam will test your knowledge of specific steps, product application order, and client consultation best practices. Don't just know *how* to do a manicure; understand *why* each step is performed and what products are used at each stage. Review your notes on client intake forms, contraindications for services, and proper draping techniques to avoid losing easy points.
