Everything an Exam Centre Needs

Designed specifically for UK schools, colleges, and independent exam centres — ready to project in seconds.

Fullscreen Projection

One click to fill any screen or projector. The high-contrast display is legible from across a large exam hall at any resolution.

Analogue & Digital

Choose a classic analogue clock face, a digital display, or both side-by-side — whichever your candidates find easiest to read.

Accurate Countdown

Configurable start and end times with a live countdown to the second. Automatically transitions through waiting, reading time, exam, and time-called phases.

Reading Time Period

Set a reading period of 5, 10, 15 minutes or a custom duration. The clock clearly labels the reading phase and transitions automatically to exam time.

Extra Time Support

Enter extra time in minutes or calculate it instantly with the +25% / +50% shortcut buttons — essential for managing access arrangements.

Three Colour Themes

Pick XamPro Navy (default), Dark (black background), or Light (white background) to suit your room's lighting conditions and projection setup.

Sound Alerts

Optional audio cues at exam start, 30 minutes remaining, 10 minutes remaining, 5 minutes remaining, and time called — generated in-browser, no audio file downloads.

Paper Name Display

Show the exam title prominently so candidates can confirm they have the correct paper — ideal for multi-room or multi-session centres.

Pause & Resume

Invigilators can pause the clock instantly in the event of a disturbance or emergency, then resume without losing any configured settings.

Set Up in Under a Minute

No software to install, no account to create. Open the page on any device connected to your display and you're ready to go.
