Frequently Asked Questions

What formative assessment formats are available?

AssessmentWiz offers six research-based formats: Quick Polls, Misconception Probes, Think-Pair-Share, One-Minute Papers, Hinge-Point Questions, and 3-2-1 Reflections.

How is this different from an exit ticket?

Exit tickets are used at the end of a lesson. Quick formative checks are designed for mid-lesson use — they take 2-5 minutes and help you make real-time instructional decisions.

Do the checks include teacher guidance?

Yes. Every formative check includes teacher notes with: what the correct understanding looks like, common misconceptions to listen for, how to sort student responses, and suggested next steps.

Can I use these with any subject?

Yes! All six formats work across all K-12 subjects. The AI adapts the format and content to match your subject area.
