Exit tickets measure which at the end of a lesson?

• A. Start of class.
• B. End of class for quick understanding check.
• C. Between units.
• D. Only during exams.

Answer: (B)

Exit tickets measure students’ understanding of what was learned, right at the end of a lesson. They’re a quick, low-stakes check designed to reveal what was grasped and what needs more clarification before moving on. That timing—at the close of instruction—lets the teacher adjust the next lesson while the material is fresh. They aren’t used at the start of class (that would be a pre-assessment), nor between units (that would be a broader unit check), and they aren’t exams (those are formal, summative assessments). A typical exit ticket might ask students to summarize one idea in their own words or note a question they still have, providing immediate feedback for planning.
