title: How long will each LanguageScreen assessment take?
description: LanguageScreen assessments take around 10 minutes to complete. New discontinuation rules move children to the next activity after multiple errors, reducing testing time—especially for pupils with weaker language skills—and making the process quicker and easier for schools.

# How long will each LanguageScreen assessment take?

Each LanguageScreen assessment takes about 10 minutes to complete. LanguageScreen has been reprogrammed and streamlined by introducing discontinuation rules for each activity.  This means that if a child gets multiple items wrong on a particular activity the child is simply moved on to the next activity.  This reduces the time taken to test children, with most effect for children with particularly weak language skills. We hope this will make the process quicker and easier for schools to use.
