How it works
Paste your lesson
Drop in today’s lesson notes, the learning objective, or just the topic you covered. The closer the source matches what you taught, the tighter the questions.
Generate the exit ticket
AI writes a short 3–5 question check — multiple choice, true/false, or short answer — aimed at the core concept, in about ten seconds.
Share the link
Students take it on their phones or Chromebooks in the last five minutes of class. No student accounts, no app, no signup — just a link.
Why exit tickets work
An exit ticket is formative assessment at its simplest: a short check at the end of a lesson that tells you, before students walk out the door, whether the day's objective landed. Instead of discovering gaps on the unit test two weeks later, you see them the same afternoon — and tomorrow's warm-up can re-teach exactly what was missed. For the research and reasoning behind this loop, see our guide to what formative assessment is and how to use it.
The catch has always been the overhead. Writing a fresh 5-question check every single day is exactly the kind of small, repetitive task that falls off a busy teacher's list. An AI exit ticket generator removes that overhead: the ticket costs seconds instead of fifteen minutes, so the routine actually survives a full school year. If you want ready-made prompts and formats to rotate through, we collected exit ticket quiz ideas you can adapt.
Use cases
End-of-lesson comprehension check
The classic. Paste the lesson outline, generate 3–5 questions on the core concept, and share the link in the last five minutes. By the time the bell rings you know which students need follow-up.
Next-day bell-ringer
Flip the same ticket to the start of class: yesterday's exit ticket becomes today's warm-up, giving students a retrieval-practice rep on the prior lesson. See our bell-ringer quiz ideas for openers that pair well with exit tickets.
Substitute-day check-in
Leave a link in your sub plans. Students complete the ticket at the end of the period, and you see from home whether the material was covered and understood.
Remote and hybrid classes
Drop the link in Google Classroom or your LMS at the end of a synchronous session. Because there are no student accounts, it works even for students joining from a shared family device.
Built for the last five minutes of class
Ready in seconds
An exit ticket only helps if it’s effortless to make. Generation takes about ten seconds, so it fits the gap between planning and the bell.
No student accounts
Students open the link and answer. No rosters to upload, no logins to forget, no email addresses collected.
Instant results
Objective questions grade themselves the moment a student submits. You see who got it — and who needs a re-teach — before you plan tomorrow.
Works on any device
Phones, tablets, Chromebooks, or a shared classroom computer — the ticket is mobile-friendly out of the box.
Editable before you share
Review the generated questions, tweak wording, swap a distractor, or delete a question that missed the point — then share.
Built from your lesson
Questions come from the notes you paste, not a generic question bank, so the ticket matches exactly what you covered today.

Exit ticket generator FAQ
Is there a free exit ticket generator?
Yes. SimpleQuizMaker’s free tier includes 5 AI generations per month with up to 100 student submissions — no credit card required. Paid plans (Student $4.99/mo, Teacher $19.99/mo) raise the generation limit to 150 and 600 per month respectively.
Do my students need accounts to take the exit ticket?
No. You share a link and students take the exit ticket instantly on any device — no signup, no app download, no email required. Results come back to your dashboard automatically.
How many questions should an exit ticket have?
Three to five questions is the sweet spot: enough to check the day’s core concept, short enough for students to finish in the last five minutes of class. The generator defaults to short formats for exactly this reason.
Can I edit the questions the AI generates?
Yes. Every generated question is editable before you share — rewrite the wording, change answer options, adjust difficulty, or delete questions that miss the mark.
What is the difference between an exit ticket and a quiz?
An exit ticket is a short, low-stakes formative check given at the end of a lesson to see whether students got the day’s objective. A quiz is usually longer and may be graded. SimpleQuizMaker builds both from the same tool — exit tickets are just short quizzes used formatively.
Are exit tickets graded?
Multiple-choice and true/false questions grade automatically the instant a student submits; short-answer responses are shown to you for a quick read. Most teachers use exit tickets ungraded — as a signal for tomorrow’s lesson, not a mark in the gradebook.
