ABOUT PSI
This Candidate Information Bulletin provides you with information about the examination process for a cosmetology license in the State
of Minnesota.
The Minnesota Board of Cosmetology has contracted with PSI to conduct examinations. PSI provides examinations through a network of
examination centers in the United States. PSI works closely with the State to be certain that examinations meet local as well as
national requirements in basic principles and examination development standards.
The Minnesota Board of Cosmetology has established the requirements for a cosmetology license. Application for licensure MUST be
filed within one year of the date on which the candidate passed the examination. If parts of the exam were passed on different dates,
the one-year period begins from the earlier examination date.

EXAMINATION INFORMATION
Cosmetologists, estheticians, and nail technicians must each pass three written examinations: the general theory examination, the
state examination, and the written practical examination. You may pay and schedule for all three examinations at once using the
combination examination or you may pay and schedule each separately. If you take the combination examination and only pass one (1)
of the examinations and fail the others, you will only need to retake the failed examinations. Each time you retake an examination, you
are required to pay the examination fee.
SCORE REPORTING
Your score will be given to you immediately following completion of the examination. The following summary describes the score
reporting process:
▪ On screen – your results will appear immediately on the computer screen.
- If you pass, you will immediately receive a successful notification.
- If you do not pass, you will immediately receive an unsuccessful notification on the screen along with a diagnostic report
indicating your strengths and weaknesses.
- On paper – a score report will be printed at the examination site.

In addition to the number of examination questions specified in the "Examination Content Outlines", a small number (five to ten)
"experimental" questions may be administered to candidates during the examinations. These questions will not be scored and time to

developing future licensing examinations.
EXAMINATION CONTENT OUTLINES
For examination questions or concerns, please email [email protected].
The examination content outlines have been prepared and are periodically updated by committees of professionals who are subject
matter experts in cosmetology practice, instruction, and regulatory issues. The examination content outlines identify areas of
importance to licensees in order for them to perform their duties to the public in a competent and legally responsible manner.

Interpreter
Candidates are responsible for paying the interpreter directly. PSI does not provide an interpreter, but can assist the candidate in
locating one. PSI requires a signed waiver from the candidate that states that they have no relationship with the interpreter. Should PSI
suspect a potential conflict of interest between a candidate and an interpreter, PSI has the right to independently select an interpreter,
with the candidate paying the fee.

[email protected].
After 4 days, PSI Exam Accommodations will email you confirmation of approval with instructions for the
