Use case
Timed exams on Google Forms
You already write your exams in Google Forms. Form Timer adds the missing piece: a real clock, enforced for every student, with the receipts to prove it afterward.
The same clock for every student
Set one duration and every student works under it, whether they sit the exam in class, at home, or in a different time zone. When the countdown reaches zero, auto-submit collects the response. No more relying on students to stop typing when you say so.
Start the whole class together
Post the form link in advance and lock it behind a start date. At 9:00 AM the form opens for everyone simultaneously; before that, early visitors see a friendly "not open yet" screen. Synchronized starts remove the advantage of getting the link first.
Protection against the refresh trick
Students figure out quickly that a browser-only timer resets on reload. With Pro anti-cheat, the authoritative clock lives on the server, so refreshing, closing the tab, or reopening in incognito recovers nothing. Late submissions are flagged at the source.
Evidence for grading disputes
Start time, end time, and duration land next to each response in your Google Sheet. When a student says the timer was unfair or a submission looks suspiciously quick, you check the numbers instead of arguing about memories.
No new platform to migrate to
Dedicated exam platforms mean rebuilding your question bank, new logins for students, and another subscription. Form Timer keeps everything in the Google Forms you already wrote, shared through the channels you already use.
