Use case
Classroom assessments that stay on time
From two-minute exit tickets to end-of-unit tests, classroom time is the scarcest resource you manage. Form Timer keeps every activity inside the minutes you planned for it.
Your existing forms, now with a clock
Nothing to rebuild: open any Google Form you have already written, launch Form Timer from the add-ons menu, and set a duration. The quiz you gave untimed last semester becomes a timed one in a couple of clicks.
Match the timer to the stakes
Show the countdown for tests, where pacing is part of the skill. Hide it for warm-ups and reflection prompts, where pressure would hurt more than help. You still get completion times either way, so you know if that "quick check" is quietly eating ten minutes of class.
One link, however you distribute
Post the form to Google Classroom, drop it in the class chat, or project a QR code. Students open it on laptops, tablets, or phones, and the timer behaves the same everywhere.
See how the class actually used the time
The duration column in Sheets shows who finished in four minutes and who needed all twenty. That pattern tells you whether the assessment was too easy, too long, or pitched right, and which students consistently need more time.
Free for everyday classroom use
The core timer is free, which covers exit tickets, quizzes, and practice tests. Upgrade only if you need Pro controls like server-side anti-cheat for exams that count.
