…hresholds Add role="timer" and aria-label to the countdown div so screen readers identify it as a timer. Introduce a visually-hidden aria-live="polite" region that announces time remaining only at meaningful thresholds (10 min, 5 min, 2 min, 1 min, 30 sec, 10-0 sec) to avoid flooding users with every-second tick announcements.

Description
Improve the accessibility of the quiz countdown timer by exposing it to assistive technologies. The countdown is now announced through an accessible timer region, with updates communicated politely at meaningful thresholds instead of every second, ensuring blind and low-vision users receive timely notifications without excessive interruptions.
