How to use the Exam Countdown Timer

  1. Adjust the duration with the +/- buttons if you need something other than 1 hour.
  2. Press Start to begin the countdown.
  3. Use Pause and Reset anytime to stop or restart the countdown.
  4. When the timer reaches zero, an alarm sounds automatically. Many people pair it with the Pomodoro Technique: work with full focus until the timer ends, then take a short break before starting the next session.
