Hey,
i would like to design a project in which respondents need to answer under a time constraint. The remainder of the time is their there score if they answer a question correctly.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance

The simplest method would be to record the timings in the data and generate the scores in post-survey analysis.

- manual.limesurvey.org/Notifications_%26_data/en#Save_Timings

If you need the scores dynamically in the survey, you can:

1) Add a short-text question to every scored question group.

2) Enable timers on the short-text questions.

3) Add this script to the source of each short-text question. It will hide the text input and update it with the remaining time (in seconds) every second.

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" data-author="Tony Partner">
 
  $(document).on('ready pjax:scriptcomplete',function(){
 
    // Identify this question
    var thisQuestion = $('#question{QID}');
 
    // Hide the text input
    //$('.answer-container .text-item', thisQuestion).hide();
 
    // A function to parse the timer time and load the text input
    function updateTime() {
      var aTimerTime = $.trim($('.ls-timer-time', thisQuestion).text()).split(':');
      var seconds = (Number(aTimerTime[0])*3600)+(Number(aTimerTime[1])*60)+Number(aTimerTime[2]);
      $(':text.form-control', thisQuestion).val(seconds).trigger('keyup');
    }
 
    setTimeout(function() {
      // Record the initial timer time
      updateTime();
 
      // Update the recorded time every second
      setInterval(updateTime, 1000);
    }, 50);
 
  });
</script>

Here is a sample survey in which I have left the text input visible for testing purposes:

Thank you very much, this is already really helpful! Can i also make the score dependent on, the selected answer in a dropdown? I.e. the scoring value of one question times the remaining time?

Yes, you would do that in an equation question using ExpressionScript.
