About the exam timer
A clean, full-screen exam countdown for classrooms and self-study. It shows both elapsed and remaining time, chimes when 15 and 5 minutes remain, turns yellow then red, and shows the exact finish time under the digits.
Prefer silence in the exam room? Tap Sound off — the colour changes still show the warnings.
