Formative assessment tools that fit inside the lesson
Run a quick check or a full quiz, live or self-paced. Results are marked the moment students answer, so you can act before the lesson ends.
Running practice with instant feedback is free on Teacher Basic; class-wide reports and the live grid are part of Teacher Plus and the School plan.
The problem
Most assessment means marking after class, when it's too late to change today's lesson. You find out who struggled long after the moment you could have stepped in.
Formative assessment, in the moment
ClassKite turns your questions into auto-marked practice you can run live or set for independent work. Students answer on their own devices; each response is checked instantly, and the results show which students got it right first time and which needed several attempts. The assessment shapes the lesson you're teaching now instead of becoming a marking pile for tonight.
How it works
- 1
Build or generate questions
Write them, import a question bank spreadsheet or draft them with AI, then review each one.
- 2
Open an assessment
Run it live with the whole class, or set it for self-paced practice.
- 3
Auto-marking, instantly
All six question types are marked the moment students answer.
- 4
See where to step in
Per-student results show who is secure and who needs you next.
In the classroom
Five minutes before the end, a teacher runs an exit-ticket quiz. It marks itself, the report shows how much the class got right first time, and tomorrow's starter is decided on the spot.

What you get
Auto-marked, instantly
Every answer is checked when it is submitted, so nothing is left to mark afterwards.
Live or self-paced
Run a check live in the lesson, or set a quiz for independent practice.
Six question types
Multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank (word or number), matching and jumbled sentence.
Results for each student
See what each student got right first time and what they solved in the end.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a formative or summative assessment tool?
Both work, though it is strongest for formative assessment: results are instant, so you can adjust the lesson while it's happening. You can also run a longer quiz and export the results.
Are answers marked automatically?
Yes. All six question types are auto-marked: multiple choice, true/false, fill-in-the-blank (word or number), matching and jumbled sentence. You set the answer key when you create or review each question. A blank takes one word or one number and is matched exactly (capitals don't matter). There are no short-answer, free-text or essay questions, and no marks for a partly right answer.
Is there exam proctoring or lockdown?
There is no webcam proctoring. For a class quiz, SBQ mode adds quiz conditions: copying the questions is turned off, and you see which answers were given after a student left the page. On iPads, you can also require Safe Exam Browser, which locks the iPad to the quiz until you end the session. ClassKite is built for classroom checks and quizzes, not for remotely invigilated exams.
Can I run a digital exit ticket?
Yes. Put a few questions in a practice and run it live in the last minutes of the lesson. Answers are marked as they come in. With Teacher Plus or the School plan, the live grid and the session report show who has it and who needs the topic again.
Can students keep trying until they get it right?
In live practice and self-practice, yes. A student can try a question again after a wrong answer, and retake the whole practice later. A correct answer earns the question's full marks on the first try and half of them, rounded up, on the second try; after that it earns none. A wrong answer never takes marks away. Reports count each student's best completed attempt. An SBQ quiz allows one answer per question, and ClassKite does not track mastery of curriculum standards.
Can I export results?
Yes, with Teacher Plus or the School plan. Export any session's results to CSV, or a whole class to Excel.
