The authors choose 4 pre-clinical and 4 clinical students. The intention was - as outlined in the initial manuscript version - “… to understand how they perceive the subject of interest”. The wording has been specified, to clarify that in total 8 students tested the items but not 4 as the reviewer assumed. This number was considered sufficient a) to detect inconsistencies and b) to verify the correct meaning of the questions. AG and JE are two of the authors (first letter of the first and last name). In order to avoid any misunderstanding, this has been changed to “the authors” in the revised manuscript.
I suggest the authors to replace this with appropriate phrase.
