A: Ah, OK, so we need to think of the best ideas for taking tests. 
B: Yep.
A: Er, well, how about this one? It's a good idea to study with friends at the same time each day. 
B: Mm, in my opinion, this is a really good idea. You can make it a regular part of your daily life.
A: You mean like having breakfast at the same time, lunch at the same time, studying at the same time.
B: Yes. And also I think it helps when you study with friends. A: Yeah, I, I think it’s more motivating.
B: And you can actually talk to someone, not just look at books. I find that if I’m only reading my notes it’s easy to lose concentration. I start thinking about other things. But when you are talking to someone, it really helps you concentrate. So, yes, I agree with this one.
A: OK. Another idea is not to eat too much before the exam. 
B: Oh, really?
A: Mm, when I eat a lot, I get sleepy.
B: Oh, I see. I think it depends. Because if you don't eat enough, you start to feel hungry in the middle of the exam.
A: Mm, that's true.
B: And then you can't concentrate. 
A: Yeah, that's true.
B: So, I'm not sure about this advice, for me. As I said, I think it depends. I always try to eat a good meal before an exam. I’m so nervous that I never get sleepy.
A: Hm. OK. What other ideas do you have?
B: Well, there's one thing I always do before an exam. 
A: What's that?
B: I go to bed early the night before.
A: Right.
B: I always try to sleep for eight hours the night before the exam.
