What Is StudentTimer?
StudentTimer.com is a free online study timer for students. It helps you break your revision into focused blocks of time, with short breaks in between. Everything runs in your browser – there is no login, no installation, and no account needed.
You can use this student timer for school, university, exam preparation, or any other study session where you want to stay focused and avoid distractions.
Why Use a Study Timer for Study Sessions?
- Helps you focus on one task at a time.
- Breaks large study sessions into smaller, manageable blocks.
- Reduces procrastination with a clear start and finish time.
- Builds a consistent study habit over days and weeks.
- Makes exam preparation feel more structured and less overwhelming.
How StudentTimer Works
StudentTimer has three simple modes, each with its own focus and break time:
- Pomodoro: 25 minutes of focus, followed by an automatic 5 minute break.
- Deep Study: 50 minutes of focus, followed by an automatic 10 minute break.
- Exam Sprint: 90 minutes of focus, followed by an automatic 15 minute break.
When the focus time finishes, the timer switches to a break timer automatically. When the break ends, the timer resets back to the original focus duration for that mode. The next focus session starts only when you press Start again, so you stay in control of your study pace.
Best Ways to Use This Study Timer
- Prepare your notes, books, and water before you press Start.
- Use headphones or a quiet space while the study timer is running.
- Aim for three to four focus sessions each day rather than one long block.
- Use breaks to stand up, stretch, drink water, or rest your eyes.
- Avoid checking social media or messages until the timer reaches zero.
