Packet Tracer Practice Skills Based Assessment

Purpose: The purpose of this Cisco Packet Tracer Practice Skills Based Assessment (PT Practice SBA) is to support student success by
providing additional student practice prior to taking the end of course hands-on Skills-Based Assessment (SBA).
Design Approach: This PT Practice SBA is designed to provide the student with practice prior to taking the course final SBA. This PT Practice SBA is
not a substitute for the SBA. Certain “hands-on” skills can only be validated by configuring real equipment. However, this PT
Practice SBA may indicate to the student skills that may need more practice. As such, although the claims and component skills
are summative in nature, this PT Practice SBA is a formative exam. Scoring rules and feedback are designed to inform the student
of strengths and weaknesses so that the student can more effectively prepare for the SBA.

To download an SBA, you must be an instructor in an active course for that SBA. Access the Instructor Home link from Academy
Connection. Select the appropriate class, then the click the “Gradebook” link. Click the “Skills” link in the gradebook to access the
page to download the SBA.
