SAT, ACT, and PSAT Digital Timer and Watch for Exam Pacing

The Top Score Watch does exactly what it is made to do. I haven't found any other watch that is allowed on the SAT and has this functionality. I wish I had come up with this product!I'm a full time SAT tutor and take the SAT once per year to stay up to date. I used this watch on the most recent exam and it was very helpful in staying on track and pacing myself. Nothing fancy here, but it works as advertised! It makes no noise whatsoever and has the correct timing for each section.My favorite feature is the graphical representation of how much time has passed. A circle fills in as time progresses and gives a visual cue as to what passage you should be working on in order to finish in time. The look of the watch is not bad either!

Bought this watch in September to help with ACT/SAT test time management. Wasn’t cheap, cost $65. The plastic band broke before my daughter even took the test in October, and by the time the actual ACT test came around, the digital display wasn’t working. The protective plastic is still on it! Unable to return to Amazon because the 30 day return policy was up! For any parent trying to help their child study and prepare for these tests, DO NOT waste your money on something like this. Time constraints are one of the biggest stressors for students and this type of product seemed like it would be helpful, but save your money and stick with a cheap drug store digital watch. The user guide insert was worthless and had no warranty information. It actually said, “Top Score Watch, LLC will not be liable for the failure of the product to operate properly”! Seriously?

Just beware -- a student of mine recently ordered two in a row, both of which stopped working shortly after delivery -- screen froze. I like the features, and the fact that it times both ACT and SAT, but I may go back to recommending the Testing Timers/Sandusky Lee (same basic watch) for ACT since I had never experienced this before TopScore came out. The last thing a student who has come to rely on a watch needs is for it to fail mid-test.

lasted 6 mos before the digital display went out.

The watch arrived in good shape and appears to work well. Included in the packaging are some interesting disclaimers including that "this product is for entertainment purposes only" and that "...nor does Top Score Watch LLC represent or warrant that the results of any standardized or other test will not be invalidated or voided as a result of the use of this product by the test taker." Those are material disclaimers that should be found on the site BEFORE and not after the sale because I believe they are material.

Great watch! It’s simplicity (and silence for testing purposes) was just what my daughter needed for her ACT. She gave it very high marks and said it helped her manage her time greatly during each segment of the test. The piece of mind it gave her, and the resulting boost in confidence, was well worth the price. I highly recommend this for any student planning to take the ACT or SAT.

We purchased this watch in October for the December SAT test. My daughter used it, and it worked well. The watch was stored safely in a kitchen drawer until last night, when we pulled it out for her SAT the next day. The watch was working and left on the counter for the night; however, this morning the watch's digital image was 3/4 missing (see photo). We tried several things, but the watch would not reset or work. Very, very disappointing to pay almost $40 for a one-time use watch. I would NOT recommend this product, as it left my daughter high and dry on the morning of her SAT.

Overall, a great product with a smart, intuitive design that is easy to use. Like most students, I am planning to take both the SAT and ACT and so I was very happy to find a watch that has both exams programmed into it. Highly recommend to others who are trying to improve their time management on both the SAT and ACT - - particularly on the reading sections where there are multiple passages and it can be challenging to budget the right amount of time on each one. Also the PDF user guide was awesome.
