10-Question Exit Ticket Bubble Sheet (4 per Page · US Letter)
Four complete ten-question answer slips on one US Letter page: each quarter-sheet has its own name and date lines, A to D bubbles 5.3 mm across, and corner squares, with dashed lines to cut along. One sheet of paper serves four students, so a class of thirty needs eight sheets. The PDF is free.

An exit ticket is a short check handed out in the last minutes of a class, and it works well when it costs very little to run. This page prints four complete ten-question answer slips on one sheet of US Letter paper, so a single sheet covers four students.
Each quarter-sheet slip is a whole answer sheet: its own name and date lines, four choices (A to D) on every row, and corner squares at its four corners, so a slip grades the same way a full page does. Cut along the dashed lines with a paper cutter or scissors after printing.
Who this sheet is for
- Daily exit tickets and bell-ringers
- Ten-question formative checks at the end of a lesson
- Classes with a tight copy budget
- Substitute plans: a stack of slips needs no setup
When to choose this sheet, and when not to
Choose the four-up page when the whole task is ten questions and paper is the cost. A class of thirty needs eight sheets instead of thirty, and each student still gets a complete answer sheet with a name line and a grid they can fill in properly.
If you want more room for names, or more than ten questions, use a half-sheet page (two per page, up to twenty-five questions) or the full 10-question sheet. Bubbles here are 5.3 mm across, the same size as on the full page, so nothing about filling them in changes for students.
Cutting is the one extra step. Print, cut the stack on a paper cutter if one is available, and keep the corner squares on every slip intact when you cut: they are what you line an overlay key up against.
An example
At the end of a lesson a teacher hands one slip to each student, collects them at the door, and lays a cutout overlay key, made in the generator for the same layout, over each slip to grade the stack that evening.
How to print this at 100% scale
- Open the PDF and choose File → Print.
- Set the scale to Actual size or 100%. Turn off “Fit to page”, “Shrink to fit” and any borderless option.
- Set the paper size to US Letter (8.5" × 11").
- Print one copy and check the four corner squares: each should sit about 5 mm (3/16 inch) in from the paper edge.
Why the fuss? A page scaled by even two percent moves every bubble slightly, and a camera grader measures where a bubble should be. Print at true size and the grid is where the grader expects it; print scaled and it may not be.
Printing note. Print the page at 100% before you cut, and cut along the dashed lines only: trimming into a slip's corner squares makes it harder to line up an overlay key. A paper cutter gives straighter edges than scissors.
How to use it
- Print one copy per student at 100% scale, single-sided.
- Have students fill in the header block first — name, date and class, and the Student ID grid if this sheet has one.
- For each question, fill one bubble completely. A half-filled bubble is a common cause of a mark being missed, and an X or a check mark can be another.
- Erase cleanly and completely. Smudged erasures can read as filled bubbles to a camera.
- Grade against an answer key — see the guide on making a test key overlay.

Frequently asked questions
How many exit tickets fit on one page?
Four. The page is divided into four quarter-sheets, each 4.25 by 5.5 inches, and each is a complete ten-question answer sheet.
Do I have to cut along the dashed lines?
The dashed lines mark the cuts, and they sit inside the printer-safe margin so a printer does not clip them. Cut along them, not through the corner squares.
Can I use only some of the slips on a page?
Yes. Each slip is complete, so a partly used page is fine: keep the spare slips for next time.
Will a grading app read a quarter-size slip?
We have not tested any app with these slips. Many tools look for a grid of circles, but check yours and test one printed slip before you rely on it. Grading by hand with an overlay key works the same on a slip as on a full page.
How do I make an answer key for these slips?
In the generator choose 4 sheets per page and 10 questions, mark the correct answers, and download the marked key or the cutout overlay key; both print in the same quarter-sheet layout.
