Massimo, nice, but in this case, if I were the developer, I would prefer the javascript countdown timer I recommended. The reason is that it will create a customizable display that shows a dynamic countdown clock. This can be tucked away in some part of the page that the user can see while taking the test, so the user knows how much time is left before the test taking is over. I built exactly this kind of app for a Kaplan-like test-drilling company and it worked great. The app allows for multiple countdown timers running simultaneously, so you can do a countdown for an overall test and a countup for individual questions.
