what it means
beat the clock
thanks for your help mike
It means to try to be as fast as possible when doing something, so that the deadline is met, right?
For example, if you have until 5:00 to complete a project, and you finish it by 4:58, someone might say to you "Well, you just managed to beat the clock!"
"Beat the Clock" is also a great song by one of my favorite bands, Sparks.YouTube - Sparks - Beat The Clock
