Colorado Esthetician State Examination Guide - Theory and Practical
$39.00

This Colorado Esthetician State Examination Guide is a state-specific exam guide built around what is actually scored on the Colorado esthetician licensing examinations. It is designed for esthetician students who want a clearer, more strategic way to prepare based on the current Colorado exam structure instead of studying everything evenly.

Colorado exam applicants test through PSI, and Colorado requires candidates to pass the practical examination before they can pay for and schedule the theory examination. The current Colorado esthetician theory examination uses 75 scored questions plus 10 non-scored experimental questions in 90 minutes, and the current published content outline places the greatest written weight on Safety and Infection Control at 40%.

This guide helps you focus your study time around the parts of the exam that carry the most scoring weight, the areas where candidates most often lose points, and the sequence and execution issues that can cost points on the practical exam. It also includes structured readiness timelines, retake guidance, and official verification sources so you can prepare with the current Colorado exam path in mind. Colorado’s current PSI guidance also states that candidates must pass the practical before scheduling theory, and that both components require a 70% passing score.

What This Guide Is (and Isn’t)
This is not a textbook, full cosmetology curriculum, or generic esthetics study material. It is a structured exam guide that shows what is actually scored, what carries the most weight, and where Colorado esthetician candidates most often lose points. It is best used alongside your class materials, textbooks, notes, and practice resources.
