Test day screen for high school (grades 9–12)

Use this screen during any test or quiz in grades 9–12 to set a calm, focused atmosphere. Students see clear rules, a live clock, countdown timer, and work symbols so everyone knows what’s expected.

It’s easy to adapt: type your own instructions, set the timer for any length, and choose a background that helps students focus. Project it at the start of the test and let students refer to it as they work.

Free for teachers. Your screens, classes and uploads are saved to your account.
