GMAT Timer



I've written a simple timer (for Windows XP, Vista) for GMAT. It will definitely be useful in preparation.
12/29/2010 Please, use it as it is. I won't support it at least for the near future. If you need a more sophisticated timer, please, take a look at the GMAT ToolKit (iPhone/iPod Touch application).
If somebody wants to improve it, I will find and send you source files (CodeGear, Delphi) 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".







Other Timer Resources useful for the GMAT






As of 6/2010, we have a Timer built into the GMAT Club Question Forums:

See this discussion for more details and a demo.


It provides you with a list of all the questions you attempted!

Hi Walker!

I have Windows XP in my laptop (HP). Let me tell you that this problem doesn't happen all the time. So, on most of the occasions I would see no weird numbers. But yes it does happen sometimes.

Also, I don't see any pattern in it. What I can say is that it happens when I click the answer choices ( A,B,C,D,E ). The important thing to note is that only 3 figures go crazy.
1st: Average Time
2nd: Pace
3rd : Time taken to answer the question that I clicked.

Except for these 3 figures all other figures show correct timings.
I would also like to tell you that when I say weird figure, it means a figure consisting 6 digits.

Thanks!

Excellent tool! Since I started studying, I always try to simulate the real test by alotting myself ~2mins for Quant. questions a a little less for verbal. Typically I use my cell phone digital stopwatch, but this is MUCH BETTER.

I'm definitely not an expert, nor have I taken the GMAT yet, but in my opinion, it's recommendable to always time yourself when working on practice questions, and then review.

Thanks for the tool!!!

Hi Vijayachig,

I haven't updated the Timer since 2007 and it worked well for many people. So maybe your system doesn't support system calls I used...

Re: GMAT timer [#permalink] New post   12 Jun 2010, 22:01
Hi walker, I noticed that the data of the time does not export nicely to excel, it puts all three pieces of data in the same cell (Question, Answer and Time).
Is there anyway to separate the data (like csv) such that it pastes nicely in Excel?
Thanks, Sandro

You can save them as txt file and then open in Excel with "space" separation.

I use this timer .. It does a fair job and good it does not have hot keys just like in real exam. so we get a more realistic time on how we pace during practice using the touchpad / mouse.

Thanks a lot. The GMAT timer (1st one) is extremely helpful. Does anyone know of any online timers that allow you to pick an answer and record per question time similar to the first timer?
