Set the exam date/time and the page counts down in your local timezone, live while open.
What are common exam countdown timer mistakes?
Counting to the exam DATE when the paper is at 9 AM — set the time; a morning exam removes an evening you were counting.

What is the Exam Countdown Timer?

The Exam Countdown shows a live count of days, hours and minutes to your exam or deadline — turning vague dread into a concrete, plannable number.

How the Exam Countdown Timer works

Set the exam date/time and the page counts down in your local timezone, live while open.

  1. Enter the exam or submission date and time.
  2. Read days remaining, then divide your syllabus by it (see the Study Planner).
  3. Keep the tab pinned as an honest daily reminder.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Counting to the exam DATE when the paper is at 9 AM — set the time; a morning exam removes an evening you were counting.
  • Watching the countdown instead of studying — it's a planning input, not a hobby.
  • Ignoring buffer days for revision and illness; plan to finish early.

I built a free pregnancy due date calculator that works instantly in the browser — no signup, no ads in your face
Body
Hey r/[subreddit],

I kept needing a quick pregnancy due date calculator and most options online were slow or behind paywalls, so I built one that:

• Runs 100% in your browser (your data never leaves your device)
• No signup, no email wall, no popups
• Loads in under a second on mobile

It covers the standard pregnancy due date use cases (pregnancy, due, date, baby) and links out to the formula + worked examples if you want to learn the math.
