How to use
- Enter the total exam duration and how many minutes you want as a final checking buffer.
- Add every section with its marks and question count, then tap Build my time plan.
- Follow the start and finish times in the plan — move on when a section time is up.
Note: This is an estimate. Allocations are rounded to practical 5-minute blocks and the largest remainder gets any leftover minutes, so the plan always adds up to your full paper time.
Tips
- Do the highest-mark questions first if the rules allow it — time is safest when spent on big marks.
- When the finish time of a section arrives, move on; one perfect answer is not worth two unanswered ones.
- Use the checking buffer for missed questions and quick formula checks, not for rewriting answers.
