How to add the countdown timer to your online quiz?
Visitors could search the Web for the correct answers while completing your online quiz. This is why we have provided you the countdown timer option, which will submit the quiz automatically after the time has elapsed. Visitors will be against the clock upon completing the online quiz and will not have enough time to look up for the answers from other sources.
To enable the countdown timer to your online quiz, simply go to the Settings – Quiz section of your form and tick the Show countdown timer option.
In the dropdown list, you can set the online quiz to count the time in seconds, minutes or hours. In the box on the left, add the exact amount of time you want the countdown timer to be set. Hit Save changes on top and you are done. From now on, respondents will see a countdown timer on the top right corner of the quiz. Once the time has elapsed, the quiz will be automatically submitted.
Important: You cannot set two base units for the countdown timer. If you require the countdown timer to be set to an hour and a half (1:30), you’ll need to add it all in minutes, as in 90.
