Exam room countdowns for proctors

Free Proctoring Timer

Use a proctoring timer for instructions, exam sections, breaks, collection windows, and room announcements. Create an XTimer room when proctors and classroom displays need the same visible exam clock.

Built for this job

Proctors can keep instructions, exam work time, warnings, and collection visible.

Students can see how much time remains without asking the room lead.

XTimer rooms support shared proctoring timers across control devices and displays.

Frequently asked questions

What is a proctoring timer?

A proctoring timer structures exam instructions, work time, breaks, warning windows, collection periods, and room announcements.

Is this proctoring software?

No. It is a timer only and does not verify identity, monitor students, lock browsers, or replace official proctoring systems.

Can proctors use a separate control device?

Yes. Create an XTimer room when one device controls the proctoring timer and another screen shows it to the room.
