*** Thanks for your timer, a great plus for all of us to fight against our time managment problem! ... I make this topic a stiky one :)... Fig :) ***

I've written a simple timer (for Windows XP, Vista) for GMAT. It will definitely be useful in preparation.

06/09/2010 Please, use it as it is. I'm not going to support it at least for near future. If you need more sophisticated timer, please, take a look at our GMAT ToolKit (iPhone/iPod Touch application). Thanks, Walker.

No sounds?
control panel-> sounds and audio devices-> sounds tab-> check if the sound scheme is selected to "No sounds" , instead it should be selected to "Windows default".

walker, your application is great. I wasn't expecting something like that.

Since you are asking for wishes... :) How about an option where the user has the option to set intervals of time limited by a beep or something. Let's say that I want to pratice one-minute sentence corrections. Then, I could set up walker's cool gmat timer to beep every minute (or even better, to warn me at 55 secs, then beep at 60 secs). What do you think?

But again, a really useful feature. Thanks a lot! It's weid. On my way to work today I was thinking I needed to get a stop watch or something. You just saved me a buck or two.[/img]

Thanks walker !!

I think this post should be made sticky.

PS - since you were asking about bugs - in the verbal section there are 41 questions not 37.

Hi KS. i was about to post about the same *problem* that you saw on the timer until i discovered that the number of questions changes once you start the Verbal timer. otherwise it remains as 37.

PS. KS. i guess number of questions on V is 41. :)
