Hi!

Is it possible to create countdown timer & limit for survey? Reason for this that I am doing a test and it would be helpfull to limit total amount of time for survey.

A timer to fill out one survey? Or do you want to limit the time in days or hours to stop a test?
I wouldn't use a timelimit for filling out one survey. The proband could need to go to the toilet or other things.
When you want to test out a survey you want completes. Another reason to not limit time for filling out one survey.

There is no built-in way to set an overall time limit for the survey unless all questions are on a single page, in which case you can set a time limit on a single question which will control that page.

Hmm... I think it is really normal way when doing tests and/or exams in web. That's way there would be a warning & message that you need f.e. 30 minutes for this test...

Have to check that possibility to put all questions on a single page. Anyway to give me more precisely advices or is it easy to do?

Limesurvey is a survey system in the first place. It has assessment features, but isn't focused on quiz or exam tests. When I read test, I was thinking about pretest of a survey, not about a live exam test.
