Your study arc, week by week

SGS isn't a two-week cram kit. It's the study companion that rides shotgun through all 300 program hours.

Weeks 1 – 2

Foundations

Your first 2 weeks cover anatomy, chemistry, infection control, and nail technology basics. Use SGS flashcards and Knowledge Chair chapter by chapter to make the vocabulary stick while it's fresh.

Weeks 3 – 5

Hands-On + Theory

You're in practicals now. Pair every kit check with a quick SGS Shear Squares round on that chapter — the repetition glues clinical skills to the theory behind them.

Weeks 6 – 7

Mid-Program Check

Take a Nail Technology practice test for Nebraska every week. Your score trend tells you which chapters to loop through TheBoard before you forget material you learned in month 2.

Final 1 weeks

Exam Polish

The Nebraska exam is PSI's written test. Run full-length Practice Tests in exam conditions, review state-law questions daily, and use ShearForce for quick recall drills between clinic shifts.
