Professional setup

Use the simple timer first, then graduate to controlled timing.

Use reading time as its own segment when students cannot write yet.

Keep final-warning and material-collection periods separate from main exam time.

Use XTimer rooms when one proctor controls several displays or remote rooms.

Frequently asked questions

What is a test proctor timer?

A test proctor timer helps staff manage instructions, reading time, exam sections, warning calls, collection periods, and remote assessment timing.

Can this show reading time before the exam?

Yes. The reading plus exam preset includes a separate reading segment before the main exam timer.

Can I use it for remote tests?

Yes. Create an XTimer room when a proctor needs to control a timer display shared with remote candidates or multiple rooms.
