Quiz with Timer (Multiple Time Triggers)

JavaScript
1

Hi there,

I am about to start development on a web-based quiz and wanted to clarify some stuff to make sure it is possible.

I am hoping to have a quiz where the questions are broken up into 4 categories, and you get a score for each one. Should be straight forward enough.

The question I have is this:

I know you can use timers to limit allowed response time for the questions. I was hoping to use a timer to change the score of the questions based on how long it took to answer.

Ie:
If answered in 4 seconds (add 3 points)
If answered in 8 seconds (add 2 points)
If answered in 12 seconds (add 1 point)
If answered in 16+ seconds (add 0 points)

I am wondering if this is feasible in Javascript, can you create a timer with multiple trigger times, with different effects?

Thanks in advance,
David

Yes you can. You can record the time/date when the question was started, and when it was answered. The difference between the two is how long it took, and based on that length you can assign different points.

Awesome! Thank you very much for your help.
