Add a timer to your quizzes.
Set a duration, warn before the end, and let Mailpro submit the answers when time is up. Time is counted by our servers: it can’t be stretched.
Which organ produces insulin?
Time is part of the test
A revision quiz is taken without pressure; a recruiting test or an exam is taken against the clock. In the quiz maker, one setting does it: the duration in minutes. Participants start when they are ready, see the time remaining, and their answers are submitted by themselves at the end.
From the click on “Start” to submission
| Before | A start page announces the duration; before the opening date, it shows when the quiz will open. |
| Start | On the click on “Start”, the server records the time and sets the end time. |
| During | The countdown stays visible; reloading the page doesn’t reset the time. |
| Alert | A few minutes before the end (you choose how many), the participant is warned. |
| End | Answers are submitted automatically, even if required questions were left empty. |
| After | An answer arriving after the end, past a short grace period, is flagged as late. |
A duration, an alert, an opening date
Enter the duration in minutes and when to warn the participant. Add an opening date and time if needed, and shuffle the question order so two neighbors don’t get the same sequence.
Time that can’t be cheated
The start and end times are set by the server on the click on “Start”. Reloading the page or changing the computer clock changes nothing: the countdown shown is just a reflection. To stop a candidate from starting again in another browser, reserve the quiz for a contact list.
The reference time is the server’s, not the computer’s
Answers submitted on time
At zero, answers are submitted automatically, without blocking on a required question left empty. The score is calculated on what the participant answered, and an answer that arrives too late is flagged as late.
