timed practice

Clocked skill sessions

Timed practice is training or study conducted under time constraints, typically to build speed, simulate test conditions, or develop automaticity.

Students do timed practice with math facts or typing drills.

Athletes use timed practice to improve pace.

The pressure of the clock often reveals whether skills have become second nature: I've been doing timed practice for the bar exam.
