Online timer for 111 minutes
While you supervise a child or student sitting a regulated exam, set one hundred and eleven minutes aside and keep the room settled while they work. You may be checking the permitted materials, watching for interruptions or noting when a supervised break begins, so the countdown provides a shared finish point without repeated time checks.
During the exam, you might move to another browser tab to read the instructions or complete quiet work. The countdown should continue while its tab is in the background, although some phones may delay an audible alert when battery-saving settings restrict the browser. Keep the device nearby, leave its sound audible and glance at the tab occasionally so the student is not relying on an alert you may miss.
As the student reaches the final section, think beyond the signal rather than treating it as the instant everyone must leave. Allow a small buffer to collect papers, confirm that required details have been filled in and settle the student before the next lesson, appointment or family task. If the exam ends early, use that spare time for the permitted checking process; if it runs late because of an authorised interruption, note the added time clearly.
Common questions
What could make this supervised exam finish earlier than the set session?
A shorter paper, quick responses or rules allowing the student to submit early may leave unused time. Follow the exam instructions, as some supervised sessions require the student to remain quietly in place.
What should I do if an interruption pushes this exam beyond its allotted time?
Pause or extend the session only when the relevant exam rules allow it. Note the interruption and added time so the student’s finish point can be explained accurately.
