Train to solve faster โ€” Exam Training Timer. When you practice with a mock exam, the thought "I still have 5 minutes" kills your sense of urgency. This timer fixes that. The on-screen clock runs FASTER than real time. HOW IT WORKS 1) Set the timer to your exam length (e.g. 100 min) 2) Set the real time a bit shorter (e.g. 95 min) 3) The screen counts down from 100:00, but actually finishes in 95 real minutes 4) Your body learns to finish early โ€” in the real exam, you get spare time for answer sheets FEATURES - Compressed-time timer: set displayed time and real time separately - Exam presets: 30 / 45 / 60 / 70 / 80 / 90 / 100 / 120 minutes - No pause โ€” just like the real exam (long-press to quit) - Screen stays awake during your session - Training log: finished sessions are saved automatically - 11 languages Try one mock exam with it the day before your test.
