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.
Michigan 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.
Michigan requires 1800 training hours for barbering, along with completing the PSI exam (written + practical). Minimum age is 17.
Every SGS practice question is mapped to the same topic categories PSI uses: Hair Cutting and Styling; Sanitation and Safety; Shaving and Facial Hair Services; Chemical Services; Michigan Laws and Regulations. Your progress dashboard shows which categories you're strong in and which need work before test day.

A big one I see Michigan candidates make in Hair Cutting and Styling is relying too heavily on memorizing haircut names without truly understanding the underlying principles of graduation, elevation, and overdirection. The PSI exam won't just ask you to identify a "classic taper" in a picture; it'll test your ability to troubleshoot a client's hair growth patterns or adjust a cut for different head shapes. Instead of just learning what a style looks like, focus on the mechanics of *how* it's achieved and *why* certain techniques are used. Practice articulating your thought process for each cut – that's what shows real understanding.
