The examination team shall be composed of no more than how many cosmetologists?

• A. Six
• B. Four
• C. Eight
• D. Ten

Answer: (A)

The question tests the allowed size of the examination team. The rule sets a maximum of six cosmetologists on the team. This size provides enough licensed professionals to adequately oversee and evaluate both the written and practical parts of the exam, while keeping coordination and scheduling practical. If the team were smaller, coverage of all required areas could be insufficient or slow down the process. If it were larger, it could introduce unnecessary complexity and complicate consistent scoring. Among the options, six is the right ceiling because it balances coverage with practicality; four would be too few, and eight or ten exceed the limit and aren’t necessary.
