1.0 out of 5 stars this book sucks, October 28, 2003

This review is from: Milady's State Exam Review for Professional Estheticians (Paperback)

i recently purchased the standard text book and state review exam in preparation for the california state board esthetician exam. i read the entire text book and whizzed through the review book. these materials are very basic and dated. the exam here in california is very medical and i was overwhelmed with the test's terminolgy and structure. needless to say i failed and now i have regrets that i even purchased these middle school texts. i suggest if you're preparing for your state boards don't buy this crap and look for something more challenging and more informative. i suggest texts that specify in medical esthetics because this crap will barely get you out of esthetician school

1.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK SUCKS!!!, March 7, 2011

Esthetic Student - See all my reviews

This review is from: Milady's State Exam Review for Professional Estheticians (Paperback)

I studied this book front and back for three months and failed my Esthetician written exam. Seriously, I thought Milady's was supposed to be the best. But apparently that's just for sales.

Lucky enough I found a study guide that ACTUALLY had the questions and answers to to Esthetician exam. I studied this book for TWO DAYS and guess what?? I received a 90 on my written exam. If you want a book that actually is going to have up to date material go to lulu.com and search Wendelyn Muckerheide. Thats the author and the only way it will come up. The book is called "State Board Exam Review for the Esthetician Student". Trust me if you study this book you will PASS like I did!!! :)

This review is from: Milady's State Exam Review for Professional Estheticians (Paperback)

This book is a very helpful resource to those who are going to take their State Board Exam. I passed my first time and I studied like crazy from this book. It goes along with the text book very well, so if you have both the text book and this review book, you'll have what all the Schools in California are studying from.
