Unblitz Tactic Traimer

Is there a way to turn the countdown on tactics trainer off? Having the pressure of forcing a rapid response pulls quality thought down. 

Not in rated mode.  Maybe you should head on over to V3 (Try the new Chess.com at the bottom of the page) and try the TT in unrated mode.  Lots of options for custom training.  Just click the + sign.  You can choose to do problems of a certain type or even just review ones you've missed.

Of course if it's just the presence of a timer that bothers you, there's a setting to make it disappear.
