The exam
What the Louisiana cosmetology state law exam involves
The Louisiana State Board of Cosmetology (LSBC) requires candidates to pass a state law examination on the rules that govern cosmetology practice in Louisiana. The law tested comes from the Goldbook, which collects the Louisiana Cosmetology Act (R.S. 37:561 et seq.) and the board's rules in the Louisiana Administrative Code, Title 46, Part XXXI.
What score do you need to pass the Louisiana cosmetology law exam?
The passing standard is 75 percent. This app scores its mock sitting against that same 75 percent bar, so a practice result maps directly onto the real requirement.
How many questions are on the Louisiana cosmetology state law exam?
The board does not publish an official question count or time limit for the state law exam. To give a realistic practice sitting, this app uses a 40 question, 60 minute mock format, which is a study choice and not an official specification.
