I know this has been asked before, but it was an old thread, so I thought I'd ask again. I am taking the bar exam soon, and we are not permitted to use digital watches. Timing is extremely important, and I would rather see "remaining time" rather than "elapsed time." An elaspsed time bexel would start at 55, not 5, and count down. I am looking for one for a 14060 no-date sub. I know a lot of people ask "Why not just do the math in your head?" To be honest, I am a little dyslexic, and am afraid I am going to make a mistake-it has happened before. Many thanks! If anyone can make me one, feel free to shoot me a PM or post away.

Good luck on your exam.

If you put the pearl at the calculated cutoff time, if less than an hour, would that serve your purpose?

If more than an hour you could reset at an hour.

Is it improper to use a digital device or any timing device?

I would be cautious of trying to look for loopholes in the rules, but hey, you're the one with the law degree!

A dyslexic Laywer....right?

Hmmm....this could be the thread of the year IMO.

good luck with the exam! you'll do fine. and, honestly, there's enough going on that stressing about each remaining minute isn't going to help you. take enough practice exams, nail down how much time you can spend on each question, and then methodically make your way through the test. on the day of the exam, if a question is tricky, SKIP IT, move on, and come back if you can.

Stavrodos will help you here I'm sure.

Thanks for the good wishes guys. Directioneng, just as an FYI, David Boies, who is without question one of the best litigators ever, is dyslexic. I'm not quite sure why this would be the thread of the year. Could you explain?

Grady, I'm wearing my 1503, but when I get home I will look at the sub and see what you mean. Thanks! Cru, I hear you, I just like to be able to visualize how much time I have left and think about it fractionally. There are a series of essays with 25 min alloted per essay, but the test taker is responsible for budgeting time, so I want to be able to count down in 25 minute increments.
