Put a Real Clock on Your Test
Whole-test timers, per-section limits, and auto-submit when time runs out. Because an untimed test measures patience, not performance.

Time Limits Are Part of the Measurement
Give someone unlimited time and most tests collapse into open-book research projects. The clock is what turns a question set into a measurement: it standardises conditions, rewards fluency over lookup, and mirrors how real exams and real work actually feel. If two candidates score the same but one took three times as long, you want to know that.
QuikQ gives you timing at whichever level you need. Set one timer for the whole test, or a separate limit per section so quantitative gets 25 minutes while verbal gets 15. When time expires, the test submits itself, and every result records exactly how long each person took.
Timing Controls That Go Deep
Test & Section Timers
One clock for everything, or independent limits per section. Your structure, your call.
Auto-Submit
Time expires, the test submits. No grace periods to argue about, no unfinished limbo.
Visible Countdown
Takers always see the remaining time, exactly like a real exam hall.
Locked Navigation
Optionally close sections when their time ends, so nobody banks time to revisit later.
Time-Taken Analytics
Every result records duration, so you can spot both the rushers and the strugglers.
Pressure + Protection
Pair timing with anti-cheat: fullscreen, tab detection, and shuffling for full exam conditions.
How It Works
Three steps, start to finish
Structure the Test
Build sections and decide where the time pressure lives: overall, per section, or both.
Set Limits and Publish
Choose durations, pick a navigation mode, and share the link.
Read the Clock Data
Scores plus time-taken show who knew it cold and who barely beat the buzzer.
When the Timer Matters Most
Hiring Screens
Standardised time limits make candidate scores genuinely comparable.
Exam Practice
Students who practise at real pace don't meet time pressure for the first time on exam day.
Certification Exams
Fixed durations with auto-submit keep certification attempts consistent and defensible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I set different time limits for different sections?+
Yes. Each section can have its own timer, so a 25-minute quantitative section can sit beside a 15-minute verbal one in the same test.
What happens when time runs out?+
The test, or the section if you're using section timers with locked navigation, submits automatically. Answered questions are saved and graded as-is.
Can takers see how much time is left?+
Yes, a countdown stays visible throughout, so nobody is surprised by the auto-submit.
What if someone loses internet mid-test?+
Answers are saved as takers progress, so a brief drop doesn't erase their work. For high-stakes exams we recommend advising takers to use a stable connection.
Is timed testing free?+
Yes. All timing controls, including per-section limits and auto-submit, are on the free plan.
