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?


Good idea.

F$#@$% fabulous !

Thanks walker !!

I think this post should be made sticky.

PS - since you were asking about bugs - in the verbal section there are 42 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. :)

Us Linux users barely read RAR files, and EXE files of course... But thanks. Let me install a Windows emulator (WINE), maybe your program would run on top of it.

Erm... I hope this year we will make a study guide compilation like this available on the Wiki. It is good to have the stickies but it is not very systematic.

Hello-

This sounds like a great tool but I am having trouble with the file- Can someone email it to me at [email protected]?

I am saving it as a .rar but for some reason it won't run! Not sure why - any suggestions?

Walker what language did u use to write this? If I have free time this year (after GMAT and applications), I might look into a java app for mobile phones. So people can practice SC and CR on the go (the rest require more screen realestate and pen and paper).

Anyone need a timer for an Apple Computer?
If so, try these links.

This program is good because you can set it to 2 min, when it will give you a short beep sound and then recycle for another 2 min countdown, and on and on. The bad side is that I think you can only set it for 1 min increments (1 min 45 sec, for example, is not possible)
https://nitram-nunca.com/downloads/minutes/

This program is good too but I haven't found a button to make it recycle yet. However, you can set it to any countdown time that you wish.

Hopefully this helps someone.

Walker I see you mention the timer is for XP - does that mean it won't run on Vista, or is it worth giving it a shot? cheers.
