You could, but you would need to drive it enough to get the sensors into a ready state again. And unless you've fixed whatever threw the code, it'll come right back again.

You only pass if the check engine light has not been on for more then a month, if they see if you've cleared the codes within the last month, its auto fail.

It DEFINITELY doesn't take a month, but it does take 20-40km's of varied driving to get the sensors into the right state. They don't care when the codes were cleared, just that the sensors are reporting a ready state.
