Timed quizzes - can I capture time remaining as a variable?

I need to create quizzes in which the learner gets a bonus depending on how quickly they finished a timed quiz. The quicker they do it, the higher the bonus. 

I know that Storyline can display a quiz timer. Is this timer linked to a built-in variable? I want to capture the time once they finish the quiz to calculate the bonus.

    If you look in the built-in variables you can find the Project.ElapsedTime, Scene.ElapsedTime, and SlideElapsedTime variables. 

    Depending on your context putting timer on a quiz is not considered a best practice as it unfairly penalizes people who use keyboards or screen readers to navigate the course, or those who are neurodivergent.
