What is an exit ticket?

An exit ticket (also called an exit slip) is a short formative assessment given at the end of a lesson. Students answer a few questions about what was just taught, and the teacher sorts the responses to decide what happens next: move on, reteach to a small group, or revisit with the whole class. It takes three to five minutes and is one of the cheapest ways to find out whether the lesson landed.

A simple three-question structure

  1. One core-skill question that every student should get right if the lesson worked. Make it auto-graded so you can sort instantly.
  2. One slightly harder application that shows who is ready for more.
  3. One reflection prompt (an open response): "What's one thing that is still confusing?" or "Rate your confidence from 1 to 4 and say why."

Sorting the responses in two minutes

Paste the students' result codes into My quizzes. The gradebook groups the class at a glance: full marks (ready to move on), core right but stretch wrong (practice), core wrong (reteach tomorrow). The open-response answers are in the CSV download, one column per question. For more quick-check ideas, see the formative assessment guide.

Questions teachers ask

How long should an exit ticket take?
Three to five minutes. If it takes longer, it has turned into a quiz and students will rush it at the bell.
Should exit tickets be graded?
Most teachers keep them ungraded or completion-only. The point is honest information about what to teach next, and grades make students hide confusion.
Can students answer on their phones?
Yes. The link works in any phone browser, with large tap targets and no app or account.
