A powerful feature that&#8217;s revolutionizing how educational institutions conduct online examinations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By setting individual time limits for each question, this approach addresses multiple challenges simultaneously: reducing cheating opportunities, improving focus and simulating real-world decision-making scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"stats-highlight\" style= \"background: #fff3cd; padding: 15px; border-left: 4px solid #ffc107;\n    margin: 20px 0; border-radius: 4px\">\n                    <strong>Did You Know?<\/strong> According to a 2024 study by the International Association for Educational Assessment, exams using per-question timers saw a 68% reduction in suspected cheating incidents and a 35% improvement in overall exam integrity scores.\n                <\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_Per-Question_Timer\"><\/span><strong>What is a Per-Question Timer?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A\u00a0per-question timer\u00a0is an online examination feature that sets\u00a0a uniform time limit for each question\u00a0rather than applying a single timer to the entire exam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the allocated time for a specific question expires, the system automatically moves the student to the next question, whether they&#8217;ve answered or not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How It Works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1. <strong>Uniform Time Per Question:<\/strong>\u00a0All questions receive the same time allocation (e.g., 60 seconds per question throughout the exam)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2. <strong>Automatic Progression:<\/strong>\u00a0When time expires, the exam automatically advances to the next question<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. <strong>Visual Countdown:<\/strong>\u00a0Students see a countdown timer for the current question<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. <strong>No Backtracking:<\/strong>\u00a0Once time expires or the student moves forward, they typically cannot return to previous questions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. <strong>Simple Configuration:<\/strong>\u00a0Administrators set one time value that applies to all questions in the exam<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"pro-tip\" style= \"background: #d4edda; border-left: 4px solid #28a745; padding: 15px 20px;\n    margin: 25px 0; border-radius: 4px\">\n                    <strong>Eklavvya Platform Feature:<\/strong> In Eklavvya, you can enable per-question timer mode and set a consistent time limit (e.g., 1 minute per question) that applies uniformly to all questions in your exam.
