Pretests / Testing out of a course

Summary

Can assessments be used for a pretest?

Can assessments be used for a pretest? For example, if you pass this assessment, you are considered complete for the course and do not need to complete the subsequent activity.

Or, if not assessments, can you set up a course that will be considered complete if you complete any one activity?

How is anyone else handling this requirement?

Thanks,

Matt
