Frontend for Django Quiz Project

Hi,

After we finish the Django Basic and Django Forms, we have, an almost ready back-end for creating questions and answers. Now , I want to know, how will we organize this quiz? Some points regarding this:

1) Start the quiz which will go throw N diff questions . 2) A timer also should be shown indicating remaining time. User should not be able to reset this timer by any means (resubmit page or restart quiz). 3) There needs to be a result page to show Summary . 4) How do we ensure , user cannot retake the exam ?

I started with this idea , but I can't get past the timer thing. How do we implement this? Ideas:

1) Should we use django sessions ? How? 2) Or this should be done using Javascript? 3) Should the client tell the server, if the time is almost over or the back-end server should send a signal . 4) Is there some other course which takes this idea and finishes it?
