Esthetician Practice Test 2026

3000+ exam-like questions, 1000+ flashcards, over a dozen practice tests and real-life scenarios make Ultraprep a must-have tool to prepare for the Esthetician exam.

The NIC-Esthetics Exam represents the last qualifying step you need to take before beginning your career.

The National-Interstate Council of State Boards of Cosmetology (NIC) is the leading national authority on the evaluation of estheticians preparing for a state license. As such, it is the sponsor of the two nationally recognized NIC esthetician examinations: The written exam and the practical (hands-on) exam.

Most states – currently 31 – require you to pass the NIC's written/theory and/or practical esthetician exams to earn your license. For those states that do not require the NIC exams, chances are you will be taking a similar test based on the NIC exam model.

Now it's time to do it. Pass the most important exam of your career.

YOU WILL MASTER ALL THE EXAM AREAS:
Domain I. Scientific Concepts
• Infection control procedures
