Tips On Answering Esthetician Test Questions Well

By April Briggs


Estheticians are not allowed to practice until they have sat and passed a particular entry examination. The paper seeks to examine particular study areas and skills. By understanding the format used to set esthetician test questions, you will be better prepared. Each jurisdiction administers a specific examination which calls for attention to details.

Different states accredit estheticians based on their own criterion. Some require all practitioners to pass a common examination. In other states, estheticians sit for an examination based on their area of specialization. This means that you should prepare for general esthetic or specific areas based on your jurisdiction.

There are different equipments for each practice area and the provision by different examination centers vary. Some require you to have your own equipment when coming for the examination. Other centers will provide the equipment. The advantage of using own equipment is that you will be familiar with them when sitting for the examination. This increases your speed and chances of getting a better score.

It is important to feel prepared when entering the exam center. Do not allow tension to overpower you and neither should you be stressed during revision. Take measures to avoid the nervousness that comes with tests so that you can give attention to the questions. Deep breaths and relaxation will improve your chances during the exam.

One of the most common issues you will be tested on is the action you take in case blood spills during a procedure. The options provided include bagging all contaminated articles and the blood, documenting the incidence, application of styptics container to the injured part and storing equipment that have been disinfected in a container. You may be required to give the order if all procedures are provided.

Another question may involve the definition of terms. An example is where you are asked to define a process like iontophoresis. Some of the options that may be provided include separation of a substance into positive and negative ions, an increase in elastin production through stimulation by an electrode, the transformation of sebum through chemical reaction or use of current to ensure hair removal. This means that you must have adequately studied all the areas likely to be covered by the exam.

Since you will be dealing with all types of skins, you will always find a question on the area. An example is the type of mask to be used by a client with an oily skin. The examiner may provide such answers as firming mask, clay mask, moisture mask and peel mask. There are other questions concerning the skin and procedures based on skin types.

Customer handling is a crucial part of a successful esthetician career. You should always expect a question on handling clients at different times. A common question in this category is how to avoid contraindication issues with your clients. The options you are likely to find are discontinuing consultation in case of high blood pressure, keeping you consultation area organized and clean, having pre-printed questions and providing a comfortable salon. Since you can be asked to handle any question, you should prepare adequately before sitting for the paper.
