Answer Timer
Score and speed — because in the exam hall, pace is half the battle.
You can write a brilliant answer and still lose the paper if you run out of time. The Answer Timer starts the moment you open your answer pad, tells you how your pace compares to the real exam target, and tracks whether you're getting faster — so you walk into the hall knowing you can finish.

Times every answer
The clock starts the instant you begin writing — no manual stopwatch, no guesswork.
Compared to the exam target
“You wrote this in 11 minutes. Exam target: 6–8.” Concrete, exam-specific pacing feedback on every answer.
Speed trend over weeks
A trend line shows whether your writing speed is improving — the metric most aspirants never measure.
Score and pace together
No other platform tells you both how good the answer was and whether you could write it in time.
Time management isn't a test-day skill you can switch on — it's trained. By surfacing your pace on every single answer and tracking the trend, the timer makes you faster without sacrificing quality, so the difference between attempting 18 answers and all 20 disappears.
