What is an Exit Ticket?

Exit tickets are a formative assessment tool used for checking student comprehension. It's an easy way to make sure students understood the lesson.

They can come in many different formats and types, but the primary purpose of an exit ticket is to provide an assessment of student understanding at the conclusion of a lesson, class period, or day. Also called a "Ticket to Leave" or an "Exit Card", students need to hand in their exit slips before leaving the room, either after a class period or at the end of the day. Reinforcement of topics immediately after the lesson helps students retain information better!

 

Some of the templates we have provided are for quick answers, while others are intended to be used as personal reflection. Both provide valuable feedback for the educator.


Benefits of Using Exit Tickets

Exit tickets can indicate student progress or understanding of a concept, and should inform your next steps for instruction. Review them before the next lesson and monitor student progress to check for misunderstandings, student comprehension, or holes in your lesson!

Exit Ticket Ideas

There is no one method of how to make an exit ticket. Exit tickets are useful for all grade levels and all subjects, and as such, they vary wildly in topic and difficulty. An exit ticket may be as simple as circling an image on a slip of paper, or could even be a thoughtful reflection of the entire day.

Typically, exit tickets are not formally graded because they are intended to be a formative assessment to inform the teacher. However, you may wish to take the opportunity to have the style of an exit ticket worksheet for students to complete before they can leave the classroom.

Teachers can also create generic printable tickets for classroom use to have on hand for any day's lesson. A prompt such as "I Notice / I Wonder…" or a blank exit ticket graphic organizer can be used in many situations.


Brevity is important.

Exit tickets are not assignments and need to be able to be finished in under five minutes. Depending on the subject, age group, and learning objective, you might want to have an area for open response, or you may simply have students circle words or images.

Most often, exit tickets do not require long written paragraphs or difficult questions. They are meant to be quick check-ins to be sure students understand what you want them to. All students should be able to complete the task in under five minutes. 


Exit Ticket Examples

What are one, two, or three key themes, facts, or skills you want your students to take away from your lesson? 3-2-1 style statements are popular to use, but simple questions or multiple choice have their place too. Here are basic questions as sample exit tickets.


  • What's one way you already use _____ in your everyday life?
  • What are two things you learned about _____ today?
  • How well do you think you understand ______? (Exit ticket images: thumbs up, thumb to side, thumbs down)
  • Two things I learned, Two things I have questions about. 
  • Describe ______ in your own words and draw a picture.
  • What is your position on ______? Why do you think that?
  • What score do you give yourself on your effort today?

What is the purpose of an exit ticket?

There are different reasons why you might use exit tickets. One reason would be to make sure the concept you just taught was well received. For example, if you choose a math exit ticket template, will students be able to perform the operation you want? 


  • See if students have misconceptions or misunderstandings
  • See if students still have questions
  • Break students into groups based on what students write
  • Identify students who can demonstrate mastery
  • Give students a chance to reflect on their own understanding, effort or application of the topic

How do you write an exit ticket?

A good exit ticket question will be crafted with a distinct purpose in mind. Before you can come up with a question, you need to know your objectives. Develop your question based on your learning objectives for the lesson. 

Decide if you want to have students synthesize information, apply a skill, reflect, or do something else. Exit tickets can also be used for student reflection of the entire day.
