Audio Script
Claire: Hey, Jacob! Ready to get started with our exam prep?
Jacob: Absolutely, Claire. This biology exam is going to be tough, but I think we can tackle it together.
Claire: Definitely. So, how should we divide the work?
Jacob: How about we split the topics? You focus on genetics, and I’ll handle cell biology. Then we can teach each other the key points.
Claire: That’s a great idea. I’ll prepare notes on genetics, and we can quiz each other later.
Jacob: Perfect. Also, do you think we should practice using past exam papers? I found a few online that we can try.
Claire: Yes, that’s a must. It’ll help us get familiar with the question patterns.
Jacob: Great. How about we meet again tomorrow morning to review what we’ve studied and go over those papers?
Claire: Sounds good! Let’s plan for 9 AM at the library.
Jacob: 9 AM it is. Thanks, Claire—this is going to help a lot.
Claire: Thanks, Jacob. See you tomorrow!
