Formative Assessment
Formative assessment tool with AI
Generate exit tickets, do-nows, and quick checks from lesson notes in under 30 seconds. See what students understood before moving on.
Why formative assessment matters
Formative assessment isn't grading—it's signaling. A well-run quick check tells you, mid-lesson, whether the class understood what you just taught. The problem: writing a good check and running it takes time most teachers don't have, so formative assessment becomes occasional instead of daily.
Examina makes formative checks fast enough to run every day. Paste the key points from today's lesson, generate 2-3 questions, and project or share them. Students answer in 3-5 minutes, you see results immediately, and you know whether to re-teach tomorrow or move on. Same insight, fraction of the effort.
Quick generation
Paste lesson key points and get 2-3 targeted questions in under 30 seconds. No evening prep required.
Leveled questions
Mix recall and application questions to see whether students got the concept or just the vocabulary.
Instant feedback
Run checks live with join codes or share links. See which concepts landed and which need re-teaching.
