A method includes storing data encoded with an ECC in a group of memory cells by writing respective storage values to the memory cells. Multiple sets of readout results are read from the memory cells by comparing the storage values to one or more threshold combinations, each including multiple read thresholds. A plurality of partial syndromes of the ECC is computed, each partial syndrome computed over the readout results that were read using a respective threshold combination. A respective syndrome is calculated for each threshold combination, in at least a subset of all possible threshold combinations, based on one or more of the partial syndromes associated with that threshold combination. A preferred threshold combination is selected, from among the threshold combinations, for which a weight of the respective syndrome is minimal, by processing less than all the partial syndromes associated with all the possible threshold combinations.
