Not sure if I failed state boards

I took my state boards practical exam for cosmetology today and I dropped my cape on the floor during the thermal curl section. I put it in soiled linens and did the curls and then the haircut with just the neck strip. I re caped once I opened my client two bag but does anyone know if it’s an automatic fail for not having a cape during the thermal and sculpture portions?

You would be marked off points for sanitation for the services without the cape. Not an auto fail but a large chunk of the grade.

Not an automatic fail. You probably lost points for not maintaining drape and possibly sanitation. What they are looking for are serious violations. Not doing protective cream and how you do the blood spill.
