Paper timer

Choose your course and paper, and the clock counts down its published length while a pace line shows the mark you should be near.

Pick a paper, then start when you turn the paper over.

Every paper here is timed from the duration and mark total published in its specification, and only papers where both numbers are given are listed. Courses that publish one length for both tiers appear once; where the Higher and Foundation papers run for different lengths, that paper is left out because one clock cannot follow two papers at once. The pace line divides the paper's length by its marks, so it is an average and not a target set by the examiner. Treat it as a guide to how you are doing rather than exam-board advice, and follow the instructions printed on your paper if anything differs. If you run this on a phone, put the phone on silent before you start so the countdown is the only thing asking for your attention.
