Exam Countdown Timer
See exactly how much time you have left. Add multiple exams and track them all with live countdowns and urgency indicators.
What is the Exam Countdown Timer?
The Exam Countdown Timer shows exactly how much time is left before your exam, down to the second. That sounds simple, but it is surprisingly useful when your revision plan still feels vague or when multiple deadlines are competing for attention.
You can add as many exams as you need, and each one gets its own live countdown card. The cards are colour-coded so you can tell at a glance what still feels distant, what is getting close, and what needs your attention right now.
Your list is saved in your browser, so the countdowns are still there when you come back. No sign-up, no account, and no need to rebuild the list every time you refresh.
How to Make the Countdown Actually Help
A countdown is useful when it changes what you do next. If it just makes you nervous, it is not doing its job yet. The trick is to pair the timer with decisions: which subject needs attention first, when mock tests start, and when you stop learning new material and switch to revision.
One simple approach is to use the nearest exam as your anchor. Then work backwards: plan the final revision window, identify the chapters that still need work, and decide what has to be finished this week.

- Pair it with a study plan. The timer shows when the exam is. A plan decides what happens before it.
