An exit ticket is a short written answer collected as students leave, and its whole value is that you read it before the next lesson. The format matters less than the habit. These ten templates cover the usual ways teachers ask: summarise, rate your confidence, name the muddy part, apply the idea to a new case. Choose one, fill in your topic, edit anything you like, and print. Nothing you type leaves your browser, and nothing is saved.

How to use it
Match the format to the lesson
Confidence checks suit a new skill, the muddiest point suits a dense lecture, and Apply it suits a lesson with a worked example.
Fill in and edit
Add the topic, then click into any prompt and change the wording. Shorter beats clever.
Choose slips per page
Four per page saves paper and is plenty for a three-line answer. Cut along the dashed lines.
Print and collect
Use your browser's print dialog, which can also save a PDF if you want to put the slip on a slide instead.
What to do with the slips
The slip is the easy half. Plan five minutes that evening to sort them into three piles: got it, nearly, not yet. You do not need to grade or write comments. The piles tell you who to sit near tomorrow and whether the first ten minutes should be a reteach or a move-on. A ticket nobody reads is just paperwork, which is why one prompt beats three. For more on using quick checks to steer teaching, see formative assessment and the page on exit tickets.
If you want the questions harder, the Bloom's question stem builder will give you prompts at each thinking level to paste in.
Be honest about what a slip shows. A confident rating is not evidence of understanding, and a fluent sentence can be copied from the board. The Apply it and True or false templates are harder to fake than the rating scale.
How it compares with ClassSense
ClassSense does not have an exit-ticket feature. If you want a paper exit slip, these templates are the quick route. If you want a digital check built from your own unit, you can generate an Assessment or Worksheet in the Create Content tab (downloaded as a .docx) and use a few items from it as a ticket. Separately, students practising inside ClassSense answer multiple-choice items and the teacher sees mastery per student per skill, which covers some of what an exit ticket is for. Your first 30 days are free, no card. See mastery tracking for how that works.
Common questions
Are these exit tickets really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and nothing to download. The page builds the slip in your browser and you print it with your normal print dialog.
Can I edit the wording?
Yes. Click into any prompt on the preview and type. Use the Fill topic button if you change the topic or learning target, but note that it rebuilds the ticket from the template and replaces your edits.
How do I get four slips on a page?
Choose 4 in the slips per page box before you print. The page repeats the ticket in a two by two grid with dashed cut lines.
Does anything I type get stored or sent?
No. There are no network calls and nothing is saved. Reload the page and the ticket resets.
