One approach to gain assessment information on student learning is monitor progress. For that, multiple repeated are often performed by practitioners. In order be useful practice, must meet various interdependent quality criteria. A property of that touches criteria as the utility economy length. test has long enough give a meaningful, reliable comparable measure but short usable classroom situations. An evaluate minimize length computer-based sentence comprehension introduced. It shown can shortened from eight 5 min while estimation student´s abilities remains relatively stable random item fixed variant. The consequences development progress monitoring procedure time reduction different outlined. using one parameter logistic model ( N = 761) data syntax published OSF project https://osf.io/hnbs8/ .
