In 2022 a slightly revised version of the course placement test with a 40-minute time limit was trailed. 247 of the Japanese university students who took the test on their smartphones through the Moodle LMS, gave permission for their test results to be used for research purposes. As with the first pilot, strong statistical evidence from a Cronbach's alpha of 0.9 and a Rasch person separation statistic of 2.91 was found to support the test function of dividing students into three ability groups for course placement purposes. However, item analysis revealed some problems with item quality and with the ordering of test items when ranked by CEFR-J wordlist levels. Therefore, further revision and creation of test items is needed before collecting criterion validity data and setting cut scores.

2022年，一个稍微修改过的40分钟时间限制的课程分班考试版本被推迟。在通过Moodle LMS在智能手机上进行测试的日本大学生中，有247人允许将他们的测试结果用于研究目的。与第一个试点，强有力的统计证据，从克朗巴赫的α为0.9和Rasch的人分离统计为2.91被发现，以支持测试功能，将学生分为三个能力组的课程安排的目的。然而，项目分析发现一些问题，项目质量和排序的测试项目时，排名CEFR-J词表水平。因此，在收集效标效度数据和设定切割分数之前，需要进一步修订和创建测试项目。
