Form Timer

Feature

Anti-cheat validation for fair tests

Any timer that lives only in the browser can be beaten with a refresh. Form Timer Pro keeps the authoritative clock on the server, where respondents cannot touch it.

Try it

Try to beat the clock:
Time remaining 12:47

Server clock restored. Refreshing didn't reset anything.

Refreshing changes nothing

Reload the page, close the tab, reopen the form in a private window: the server knows when each respondent started and how much time they have left. The countdown picks up exactly where it truly is, not where the respondent wishes it were.

Validation happens at submission

Each response is checked against the server clock when it arrives. A submission that comes in after the respondent’s time expired is flagged, so you can apply your policy with facts instead of suspicion.

Built for results that get challenged

Final exams, certification tests, and hiring screens all end up defended at some point, to a student, a candidate, or a review board. Server-side timing gives you an answer that does not depend on trusting the respondent’s browser.

Proportionate protection

Not every form needs this. Exit tickets and practice quizzes do fine with the standard timer. Anti-cheat is part of Form Timer Pro for the assessments where the outcome matters enough that someone might try to game it.
