Does anyone have experience with creating courses that students can test out of assignments in a module after completing passing a test?

After our students complete a module pre-test, we would like for our students to test out of assignments that they passed in the pre-test that cover the same topics. Does anyone have experience using a feature or creating a course and a pre-test (quiz) like this?

You should be able to achieve that using Mastery Paths: How do I use Mastery Paths in course modules? - Instructure Community - 906

Add a mastery path to the pre-test, and if a student obtains less than a certain number of points in it, assign them the other assignments. If they obtain a high enough grade, don't assign them anything.

Does mastery pathways have the ability to assign assignments automatically based on what the students core on a pre-test? Or do students have the option to select a pathway?

[Gabriel33]

If "pre-test" is another Canvas quiz/assignment, then it gives a path based on the student grade.

In the link I shared, there's this image:


Which shows 3 possible paths, depending on whether the student obtains over 8 points, between 4 and 8, or below 4 points (weirdly, on a quiz that is worth 100 points).

The blocks on the right represent what the student is assigned to do in each of the three situations.
