You may find the stopwatch program useful on quizzes to keep track of your time. Here's how to use it:

1. Download this file to your desktop. When prompted for a file name, write "stopwatch.jar" in quotes. Otherwise, your browser may try to change the extension to zip.
2. Double click on the file on your desktop to open it.
3. Click the On Top button. This will ensure that the time always stays on top of other windows. Position the time in a corner of your screen.
4. Click Set Timer and set the time limit. For example, you would enter 60 for a 60-minute quiz.
5. Start the timer and open the quiz in that order.
6. You'll see the display turn red when you have one minute left. The timer will continue to count negatively after reaching 0.

The timer should run at the same rate on all computers. However, this hasn't been tested. We recommend testing it on your computer to be sure. Run it for, say, 10 minutes and compare to clock time on your computer or a wall clock.
