We've finally arrived at the final chapter of this book. So far, we've been using Packet Tracer to learn things ourselves, but in this chapter, we will create assessments with Packet Tracer to test how much other people have learned. In addition to being a simulator, Packet Tracer combines the feature of an assessment tool with a lot of potential. Creating an assessment is as easy as creating an initial network or creating an answer network (or rather, a final network).

The Activity Wizard guides you through the creation of an assessment. It is made accessible by navigating to Extensions | Activity Wizard, or by pressing Alt + W. In this chapter, we'll create a simple assessment with a PC, router, switch, and a server, and configure a simple Access Control List (ACL).
