However, there are other ways to clone your Google Forms, for example, third-party apps.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if you can easily clone your form without any disruptions in Google Forms itself, then why the need to use an app? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not to say, it is bad, such apps can surely help you and even provide you with more functionalities to use. But the above processes are way simpler for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"bonus-want-to-make-your-google-forms-a-timer-form\">Bonus: Want to make your Google Forms a timer form?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Creating a Google Form is fun until you realize that you don\u2019t have an in-built timer feature to use for tests or quizzes. As it is said time and again, Google Forms surely meets basic requirements for many users, but because of its limitations, people prefer using other tools for creating <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/conduct-online-tests-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tests<\/a>, surveys, <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/make-a-poll-in-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">polls<\/a>, and more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Though we cannot help you with the constant battle between Google Forms and other tools, we can surely make your decision slightly better with this advanced feature of Google Forms i.e, Add-ons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We all know Google has a <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/extendedforms-vs-other-quiz-apps\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/extendedforms-vs-other-quiz-apps\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">marketplace<\/a> full of apps designed for every G-suite tool. In this case, we have a <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/google-timer-apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">timer add-on<\/a> (yes, now you can freely create a <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/add-timer-to-a-quiz-in-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">timer quiz<\/a>\/test) to make your Google Forms more worthy (no doubt, it was nothing less before).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/why-extendedforms-must-have-google-forms-addon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ExtendedForms<\/a> add-on is a timer app for Google Forms, more appropriately a countdown timer and proctor app. It is also said to be the perfect alternative to the Quilgo timer app. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because it comes with no pesky configuration, just install and connect to your Google Forms. Besides, with a few tweaks to the basic settings here and there, you are perfectly ready to share the timer quiz\/assessment.&nbsp;Apart from that, it has many features that make it more useful than it already is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Brand customization (add a brand logo, icon, URL, and brand theme)<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/use-extendedforms-with-google-classroom\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/use-extendedforms-with-google-classroom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Classroom Integration<\/a> &#8211; You can link all your classworks with ExtendedForms.<\/li><li>Auto score import &#8211; it can automatically import scores from a linked Google form to create classwork&nbsp;<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/add-teams-and-assign-roles-in-google-forms\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/add-teams-and-assign-roles-in-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Teams<\/a> feature (add unlimited users on Google domain, add team manager role, and add team profile),&nbsp;<\/li><li>Customize Welcome &amp; Invitation Messages,&nbsp;<\/li><li>Integrated Dashboard, and so much more.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can check out all the features of ExtendedForms from their website and can even try the free version to get a hands-on experience. In the free version, you get up to 50 top-up quota but after that, you can top up your quota without upgrading your subscription plan.
