Why
Use The Silent Timer™
?
To:
Improve Pacing, Increase Competitive Edge,
Reduce Anxiety, and INCREASE TEST SCORES!
Reason
# 1
|
THE SILENT
TIMER™
is the only timer designed specifically to improve pacing
skills.
|
To gain a competitive
edge and increase your score, you must learn to overcome your test's time constraint.
THE SILENT
TIMER™ was developed with test
takers in mind. Its unique features help train your brain to move
at a steady pace without sacrificing accuracy.
How does it do this?
- It keeps track of the
total time left on your section
- It keeps track of how
many questions you have answered, and how many remain
- It shows the average
time available per question
- It keeps track of the
amount of time left on the current question
With
a solid pacing strategy under your belt, you will be well on your way to increasing
your test score.
Reason
#2
Standardized
tests are all difficult partly due to their strict time constraints. The average
test taker can not complete the few extra questions that could
make the difference between a good score and a great
one. Furthermore, many
students neglect to practice an aspect of the test that can be easily learned
with practice: their TIMING.
THE SILENT
TIMER™
is your key to learning the timing skills that can boost your competitiveness.
Beat the curve by beating the test time.
"Few
people realize that the bell curve of various standardized test scores
at many schools is quite compressed. So compressed in fact, that answering
only a few additional questions correctly on a test can often catapult
a student past up to 35% of all other applicants competing for admittance.
For this reason, using a time optimizing device such as The Silent Timer™
can make the difference in whether or not students get into the schools
of their choice."

Reason #3
There will
be many stressors on test day- don't let your timing be one of them.
Poor pacing is a leading
cause of test anxiety. If you are constantly rushing and worrying about completing
your test on time, how will you focus on the test material? Anxiety can play
a big role in poor test scores.
Practicing
with THE
SILENT TIMER™ is
the answer to reducing the nervousness associated with pacing problems.
Once you have established a pacing strategy through studying and practice,
you will feel more confident and secure on test day. The Silent Timer™ may not be allowed on test day, so use the Bonus Timer in that case.
With one less
problem to worry about, you will be more prepared to perform to the best of
your ability.

Reason #4
Want to maximize
your practice time- at home, at work, at a study center, in the library- without
causing a disruption? Don't forego practicing with a timer just because you
are afraid it will be distracting to others. Instead, time yourself with THE
SILENT TIMER™ and
rest assurred that it
CANNOT emit any sounds.
Instead of an audible signal, THE
SILENT TIMER™ alerts you
with a tiny red flashing light. This LED light
is noticeable to you only, and not distracting to others.
**Check the rules of your exam board beforehand.
