Designed for the exam room
During an exam, only two pieces of information matter: how much time is left, and what time the exam ends. This timer shows both in large type, with nothing else around them, so it stays readable from the back of the room once projected.
Milestone alerts mirror the announcements an invigilator usually makes: thirty minutes, fifteen, ten, five, then the final minute. Each milestone triggers a sound and a visual reminder, and you choose which ones to enable.
How to use it
- Pick the exam duration with a preset or by typing the number of minutes.
- Tick the milestones at which you want to warn candidates, then start.
- Switch to fullscreen to project. If a candidate has extra time or something goes wrong, the +5 min button adds time without resetting.
