Evaluating Script Concordance Tests (SCTs) through the Lens of Bayesian Reasoning: Enhancing Assessment in Medical Education

•Script Concordance Tests (SCTs) which have been included in the 2024 French National Ranking Exams (EDN), assessing students’ clinical reasoning under uncertainty.•SCTs concept aligns with Bayesian probability, updating hypothesis likelihood based on new information, highlighting their educational value.•Key ambiguities include the specific clinical reasoning stage evaluated, appropriate Likert scale labels, and the suitability of expert panels as benchmarks.•Addressing these ambiguities could enhance SCTs' effectiveness, improve medical education, and offer a rich research avenue for refining clinical practice.
