Practice the exact content PSI puts on your Nevada cosmetology exam. Mapped to the official topic breakdown below — no guessing, no generic Milady-style filler.
Direct from the Nevada State Board of Cosmetology and the PSI candidate bulletin.
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.
Nevada 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.
Nevada requires 1600 training hours for cosmetology, 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: Scientific Concepts (Infection Control, Safety, Chemistry); Hair Care and Services (Cutting, Styling, Chemical); Skin Care; Nail Care and Services. Your progress dashboard shows which categories you're strong in and which need work before test day.

One common pitfall I’ve seen is candidates getting too caught up in the minutiae of every hair cutting angle and forgetting the foundational principles of hair growth patterns and client consultation within the Hair Care and Services section. They'll know how to do a layered cut but might stumble on a question about assessing hair texture and porosity for a chemical service. Remember, the exam isn't just about execution; it's about understanding the "why" behind your actions and how to properly assess a client's needs before picking up your shears or mixing chemicals. Always think about the client first, and how your knowledge applies to their specific hair.
