Emerald Shears isn’t just another practice test. It’s a student-first exam prep system designed to help you feel confident, prepared, and in control when it’s time to take your TDLR State Board Exam. No matter your license type, Emerald Shears is built to work with you—every step of the way.
Passing your exam is important—but understanding what you're learning is what sets you up for success in the real world. Emerald Shears helps you move beyond memorizing questions by guiding you to the subjects where you need the most help, all while reinforcing what you already know. Using our time-tested study method, you’ll learn how to think through questions, not just what the answer is.
Your journey starts with a 100-question Initial Evaluation Exam, which simulates the real TDLR exam. Based on your results, Emerald Shears builds a custom study path just for you—zeroing in on the topics you need to improve. You’ll take focused quizzes on those subjects, build confidence as your scores improve, and work toward scoring 85% or higher—a benchmark that helps reduce test anxiety and improve performance when it’s time to take the real thing.
Emerald Shears includes accessibility tools that make learning more comfortable and effective for everyone. You can: Adjust interface colors and text size to suit your visual needs. Use the text-to-speech feature to hear questions and answers read aloud. Focus on real learning—especially helpful if you struggle with dyslexia or test anxiety.
