I need some basic grammar guidelines to follow regarding how to punctuate dialogues where people go on forever, like in the example below:
Now I've edited the whole series all five books which means I have seen every single page I have read every single question and recent hundreds, thousands-hundreds of tips to help students use these questions effectively now some of these questions are so good that I am jealous that I didn't write the questions which I know seems, maybe a bit silly but I do love writing really good exam questions and I know I'm biased but these are really really good practice exam questions and then all my helpful little hints and tips it's like having me sitting next to the student going, have you remember to convert from non-standard units in standard units or have you taken notice of the command word, so I know I am biased because I spend a lot of time working on these books, but they are brilliant, and they are designed to really really help you as a department help you as a classroom teacher to make your lives easier and to help your students get better results.
Update:
Thanks everyone for contributing. I've added full stop to break as many of them as possible and put commas where I thought they could go so it looks something like this now:

This is literally the best I could do. Criticism and advice welcome, thanks. My biggest issue when trying to punctuate a transcription is when the speaker goes on forever connecting sentences with words like 'and' and 'so' without taking any proper pauses at all. So any advice on how to handle that would also be treasured immensely!
