Track Google Forms completion time in Sheets

Sometimes you do not need a scary countdown. You just want to know how long people spent on a survey or skills screen.

Hidden timer mode

Form Timer can track duration without showing a clock. Respondents fill the form normally while you still collect timing metrics.

Where the data lands

When the form is linked to Sheets, timing fields appear beside each response. Sort by duration to find outliers: suspiciously fast finishes or forms that take far longer than expected.

When to show the clock instead

For exams and hiring tests, switch back to a visible countdown so pacing is explicit and auto-submit can enforce the limit.
