How our practice questions work

  1. Written to the outline

    Made Simple writes each question to match the exam's published outline, so you practice the topics the exam says it covers.

  2. Not real exam questions

    These are practice questions, not actual exam questions.

  3. Every answer explained

    After each answer you see why the right choice is right and why each of the others is wrong. Look-alike terms get an Exam Trap or a Memory Hook.

  4. A score is not a prediction

    A short practice set cannot measure the whole exam. Use your score to find what to review next, not to guess your real result.

Practice test questions, answered

Are these real exam questions?

No. Made Simple writes every practice question to match the exam's published outline. They are not actual exam questions.

Do I need to sign up to take a practice test?

No. You can start the free esthetician practice test right away. At the end you can choose to get more questions by email, but you do not have to.

Does a good practice score mean I will pass?

No. A short practice set cannot measure the whole exam, so a practice score is not a prediction. Use it to find the topics you should review next.

Made Simple guides are independent study aids. No guide can guarantee a passing score.
