Run every exam on time —
even six at once.
ExamInvigilator is desktop timer software built for exam officers and invigilators. Start, pause and track up to six exams from one screen, with extra time worked out automatically and a clock everyone in the room can read.
Free Lite version • No account needed • Runs on Windows
In use in UK schools and colleges since 2008.
Anyone who's invigilated knows the timing is rarely as tidy as it looks on paper.
Exams don't always start on time
A late arrival or a fire alarm shifts the whole schedule, and every finish time has to be recalculated on the spot.
Extra time gets tracked by hand
Working out an individual student's adjusted finish time mid-exam is easy to get wrong when you're doing it from memory.
One exam is simple. Six in a hall isn't
Different subjects, different boards, different finish times — all running at once, all needing to be visible at a glance.
ExamInvigilator handles all three, on one screen.
Everything an invigilator needs on screen
No spreadsheets, no scrap paper, no mental arithmetic mid-exam.
Multi-exam mode
Track up to six exams at the same time, each with its own subject, board and finish time.
Start or pause any exam
Pause a single exam or all of them at once — useful for interruptions like fire drills.
Extra time calculator
Work out an adjusted finish time for individual students without leaving the timer.
Save and load schedules
Set up a day's exams once in ExamInvigilator Pro, then load the same schedule next time in seconds.
Add your own boards and subjects
Keep the exam board and subject list matched to what your centre actually runs.
Digital and analogue clock
A digital countdown for precision, plus an analogue face for at-a-glance reading from across the room.
High-contrast display
A high-contrast mode makes the timer easier to read for visually impaired students.
School badge on screen
Add your school or college logo so the display reads as part of your own exam room, not generic software.
Centre number always visible
Your exam centre number stays on screen throughout, exactly where invigilators expect it.
Single exam, or sitewide
Choose the setup that matches how your exam office actually runs.
One room, one exam
Enter the subject and duration manually and the timer takes care of the rest — start, finish, and remaining time, all on one clear screen.
