Make an exam countdown

  1. Choose Customize this countdown and set the exam’s date and start time.
  2. Show days and hours; seconds tend to add stress rather than help.
  3. Turn on the progress bar with the start set to the day you began studying, to see how far along you are.
  4. Add it to your study planner, or share it with your study group.

For students

  • Study planners: embed it at the top of a Notion study page.
  • Several exams: make one countdown per exam; each is just a link.
  • Application deadlines: the same works for college applications and scholarship deadlines.

For teachers

Put a countdown to finals or a unit test in your slides or on your learning platform. See the classroom guide for Canva, Canvas and Google Sites.
