The Pivot Point Fundamentals: Nails Study Guide is a companion workbook where students can rewrite the coursebook in their own words, improve retention and deepen their understanding of the fundamental principles of nails. This is where students are encouraged to write or draw thoughts and transform what they’re learning into thoughts that make sense to them. A notetaking system called SmartNotes provides a method to manage, personalize and prioritize the information being learned. Lesson Challenges offer the opportunity to display knowledge and comprehension of the lesson afterwards.
The Pivot Point Fundamentals: Nails Exam Prep Book is a small, powerful print tool designed to prepare students directly for the licensure exam. Comprised of practice tests subdivided by subject, this valuable guide helps students identify what they know and what they still need to know. Closely mimicking the professional licensure exams, test questions use similar industry terminology and styles to help students be better prepared. The exam prep also contains a final exam that covers the entire coursebook, as well as answer keys for all tests in the back of the book. In addition, a section titled, “Did You Know?” provides summary statements organized by practice test that incorporate the correct answer to every question, providing a great source for reviewing key points.
