Jargon vs Nail Tech Theory Exam Prep

Jargon is a fully offline reader for the Jargon File — the hacker culture dictionary that gave the word "hacker" its original meaning, decades before it came to mean "cracker." Compiled by Eric S. Raymond and Guy L. Steele and continued today as a community project, it's the closest thing hacking has to an etymology.

Everything on the nail technician written exam, in one app. No ads, no subscription, no account — study offline. Every card, every answer and every lesson names the public source it was written from, so you can check any fact yourself. WHAT'S INSIDE 20 lessons — about three hours of reading, broken into short parts you can finish between clients. Each one explains why the rule is the rule, walks a scenario at the table, names the traps that cost points, and checks you before you move on. 440 practice questions with a real explanation on every one, drawn by domain in the same proportions as the published exam outline. Full-length timed mock exams — 100 questions in 90 minutes, marked at the 75% line — with your score broken down by domain so you know exactly what to study next. 690 flashcards on a spaced-repetition schedule. Cards you know come back later and later. Cards you miss come straight back. Label-the-diagram drills for the nail unit, the hand and the foot — tap the matrix, the lunula, the hyponychium, the carpals, the talus. A guide to the practical exam: the seven timed sections, what is graded in each, the kit list with a packing checklist, and the rules. A plain-language guide to getting licensed — which exam your state uses, the hour requirements, how to register, what test day looks like, and what happens if you fail. COVERS THE FULL OUTLINE Infection control and safety · anatomy and physiology of the nail, skin, hands and feet · nail and skin disorders (recognize, then decide) · chemistry of nail products · client consultation and set-up · tools, implements and supplies · the manicure and pedicure · massage · tips, wraps, acrylic, gels and dip · aftercare and clean-down. HOW IT WAS MADE Written from public sources — OSHA, CDC, EPA, FDA and NIOSH publications, state board rules, the published exam content outlines, and open reference works — with every item written against a named source and independently reviewed against it.
