Formative assessment
Formative assessment that shapes the next lesson, not the report card.
Formative assessment is the quick, low-stakes checking you do while learning is still happening: an exit ticket, a mid-lesson check. Unlike a summative test that grades what's finished, its job is to tell you what to teach next.

Made from what you're teaching
Turn today's lesson into tomorrow's exit ticket
Formative assessment only works if it's quick to set. Paste the lesson notes and TestSetGo drafts a short check, each question linked to its source. Keep the few that probe the ideas you need to see land, ready before the bell.
- Draft from your own lesson material
- Each question cites where it came from
- Keep the handful that matter most
The check that teaches
Fast feedback turns a check into a moment of learning
Objective questions grade themselves the moment a student submits, and you can release correct answers and explanations immediately — so a wrong answer shows why straight after the check, while it still matters. No accounts, and a one-question-at-a-time mode keeps a phone focused.
- Auto-graded the moment a student submits
- Explanations that address the misconception
- No accounts, only a link or a code
Plan from the evidence
Know what to reteach before you plan tomorrow
This is where formative assessment earns its place. Per-question accuracy shows which ideas the class holds and which it doesn't, and the common wrong answers reveal the misconception: the misread graph, the confused key term. You walk into tomorrow's lesson knowing what needs another pass.
- Per-question accuracy across the class
- The common wrong answers, named
- A clear starting point for tomorrow
How it works
A loop you can run every lesson
01Draft a quick check
Paste the lesson material, keep a few well-chosen questions, and add an explanation to each so wrong answers become teaching points.
02Run it as an exit ticket
Share a link or QR code in the last few minutes; students answer on a phone with no login and see their feedback as soon as they submit.
03Adjust tomorrow's lesson
Read the per-question results, find the misconception the class shares, and plan the reteach before you've marked a thing.
Low-stakes by design
Built for checking, not grading
Explanations on every question
Write the why alongside the answer so a wrong choice becomes an immediate teaching moment, not a red cross.
One question at a time
A single-question mode keeps a phone or tablet on the current question, with clear progress.
Maths that renders properly
Write LaTeX and get clean formulas in questions, options and explanations, handy for maths or science.
Reusable across classes
Run the same check with each class as its own run, keeping every group's results separate.
Gentle by default
Allow retakes and skip the pass mark; formative checks inform rather than count.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between formative and summative assessment?
Formative assessment happens during learning and is meant to guide it: quick, low-stakes checks like exit tickets that tell you what to teach next. Summative assessment happens at the end and measures what was learned, like an end-of-unit test. TestSetGo suits both, but its fast feedback loop makes it especially useful formatively.
Is TestSetGo free for teachers?
Yes, to start. The free plan includes 75 responses a month with every question type, explanations and the full dashboard, enough for regular checks with a small class. Larger or multiple classes: paid plans from $19 a month add volume.
How do students take a formative check?
They open a link or scan a QR code, no account, no login. On a phone or tablet, a one-question-at-a-time mode keeps them focused, and objective questions are marked the moment they submit.
How does this help me plan the next lesson?
The dashboard shows per-question accuracy and the wrong answers students chose, revealing how a topic was misunderstood rather than only that it was missed. That tells you what to reteach and to which students, before you plan tomorrow.
Can I add explanations so the check teaches?
Yes. Each question can carry an explanation the student sees after answering, so a wrong response becomes an immediate, specific correction while the material is fresh.
