Several months ago, I was spending a lot of time taking practice tests for the MCAT. When I took tests online, all was good. But when I was going through tests in books, things slowed down. I'm now studying for the GRE and finding that I spend half my time logging my answers to paper and marking down times so I know how long each question is taking me. I decided to spend a day building a simple little app that will log the times and answers for me. I call it Test Timer. It doesn't have the functionality to be a commercial application, but as a simple little utility, it does a fantastic job. I've put it on my site for your benefit if you could use a tool like this.

If you have any suggestions for upgrades, additions, or bugs, feel free to log them here as comments. I may incorporate them.

You simply press the start button when you start the test, then press a letter, usually A, B, C, D, E each time you answer a question. It automatically increments which question you're on and logs your answer and the time it took for each. When you're finished, you can save the information to a text file to correct and analyze.
