Known gaps
! The current Vermont bulletin does not publish the written question count or time limit.
! The provider reports a 75.00 passing score but does not identify it as a percentage.
! The practical is remote-only; the schema records the hands-on performance mode rather than its location.
! Vermont is recorded as requiring a written examination, but Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a state-specific written content pack. The launch experience provides general foundation practice only; users must confirm current content, timing, scoring, and procedures with the official board or testing provider.
! Vermont's practical requirements are listed from reviewed public sources, but Beauty Exam Studio does not yet have a state-specific practical task pack for this jurisdiction. The New York sequence and timers are never substituted for another state.
