When the syndrome weights are below a threshold, the relative value of a syndrome weights is a suitable proxy or indicator for a bit error rate. In this manner, the BES read scan operation leverages an estimated bit error rate. "Estimated bit error rate" refers to a value that directly, indirectly, and/or approximately represents a bit error rate for a certain set of data bits stored in one or more memory cells. Advantageously, an estimated bit error rate serves as a suitable proxy for a calculated bit error rate and may be obtained with fewer computing cycles and in a faster time than time needed to determine a bit error rate.
