The easiest way to run timed Google Forms assessments
Form Timer integrates directly with Google Forms as an add-on, so you can add a countdown timer to any existing form in minutes — no coding, no external tools required.
Educators, HR managers, and trainers trust Form Timer to conduct fair, time-limited assessments. When the countdown reaches zero, forms are automatically submitted — preventing late or edited responses. Respondents see a live timer throughout and receive a warning in the final seconds.
Unlike browser-based timers, Form Timer enforces time limits at the server level, making it impossible for respondents to cheat by refreshing the page or reopening a closed tab. This makes it the gold standard for online testing with Google Forms.
