Form Timer

Feature

Start date windows for timed forms

Share the form link on Monday, but keep it sealed until Friday at 9:00 AM sharp. A start date keeps early birds out and guarantees the whole cohort begins together.

Biology Midterm: Section A

1. Which organelle produces ATP?

Everyone starts at the same moment

For synchronized exams and live hiring screens, fairness starts at the starting line. Set the exact date and time the form opens; before that moment, respondents see a clear "not open yet" screen instead of the questions. Nobody gets a head start because they found the link early.

Distribute the link ahead of time, stress-free

Send the form through email, Google Classroom, or your ATS days in advance. Candidates can bookmark it, check their connection, and be ready. You avoid the classic exam-day scramble of sharing a link with 200 people at once.

Fewer "is it open yet?" emails

The locked screen tells early visitors exactly when the form opens, in plain language. That one message replaces the support thread you would otherwise be answering all morning.

Combine with an end date for a full window

Pair the start date with an end date to define a complete availability period, for example open Friday 9:00 AM, closed Friday 11:00 AM. Add a per-respondent countdown inside that window and you have a fully controlled exam session.
