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.
New Jersey 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.
New Jersey requires 300 training hours for nail technology, 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: Nail Care Procedures (Manicure, Pedicure); Health and Safety (Sanitation, Infection Control); Nail Enhancements (Acrylic, Gel, Wraps); Nail Anatomy and Disorders. Your progress dashboard shows which categories you're strong in and which need work before test day.

Many candidates under-prepare for the nuanced questions within Nail Care Procedures, which is the largest exam category. They often memorize the basic steps for a manicure or pedicure but struggle with questions about client consultation, product application for different nail types, or troubleshooting common issues like dry cuticles or brittle nails. Don't just know *what* to do, understand *why* and *how* to adapt. Practice explaining your choices and modifications.
