Barber — National Theory Core (NIC) – Practice Exams

Practice with 1,500 original National Barber theory questions built to the NIC Candidate Information Bulletin content outline: scientific concepts (525 questions), implements and equipment (150 questions), hair care services (600 questions), facial hair and skin care services (225 questions). Every question includes an explanation.

The NIC National Barber theory examination presents 60 items, of which 50 are weighted and contribute to the final score, in 90 minutes. NIC does not publish a passing score for this examination; passing standards are set by each state board. Our full simulation is scored against a 75% PassProfessor practice benchmark, which is a practice benchmark only and not an NIC standard.

PassProfessor is not affiliated with or endorsed by NIC. Our questions are original practice questions, not NIC test questions. This program covers the national theory core; your state board’s own law and rules requirements are covered separately where they apply.
