    I want people to be able to see how much time they have left while doing their exam.

    How do I get a small timer to be set up in the top corner, so that they can keep an eye on how much time they have left on finishing their exam questions.

    Hi Marianne,

    Thanks for using Jotform. We have a Global Countdown widget that shows a timer while users fill out the form. This feature is ideal for tests, quizzes, or any form that requires completion within a specified timeframe, enhancing the overall user experience. How to add a countdown timer in my form?

Let me walk you through it:

    • Open your form in Form Builder and click on the Paint Roller icon on the upper right side of the page.
    • Click on Layout and then click on Classic form.
