How the countdown works
The big number is the D-day: D-1 means the exam is tomorrow and D-DAY means it's today. It counts calendar days, so it ticks down at midnight. Below it, the days, hours, minutes and seconds count down to the exact start time you set.
Ways to use it
- On your desk: Go fullscreen (F key) on a tablet or second monitor for a constant reminder while you study. The screen stays on in fullscreen.
- In the classroom: Put the countdown to finals or a standardized test on the classroom TV.
- With your study group: Press Copy link and send it. Anyone who opens it sees the same exam name and date.
Tips for the final weeks
- Work backwards from the D-day: block out review weeks and full-length practice tests first.
- Run your practice tests with the exam timer so the section timing feels familiar.
- Track real study hours with the study stopwatch to see whether you're on pace.
