Frequently asked questions
- How many questions can an exit ticket include?
- You can request between one and ten, although three focused questions often fit the final few minutes of a lesson well.
- Can it include answers and teacher guidance?
- Yes. Choose concise answers, answers with diagnostic teacher guidance or a learner version without answers.

- The terms overlap. Exit ticket is widely used in the US and increasingly in the UK, while end-of-lesson check or plenary may feel more familiar in some UK settings.
- Can the ticket be used verbally?
- Yes. Edit response spaces or wording so learners can answer aloud, with mini whiteboards or through another accessible format.
- Can it include reflection questions?
- Yes. Confidence and reflection prompts are tied to the lesson objective rather than being generic wellbeing questions.
