Query: When one is writing a report/presentation, approximately how many spoken minutes is a written page?

I think it's two to three minutes a double-spaced page, but it depends on how you read.

*nods* I think it's something like that speed. Find something you've already got written up and time yourself reading that out. And then assume that you'll be reading a bit faster because of nerves to get a rough idea of how fast you read.

If it's at all possible, it's a good idea to aim to be slightly under the time limit they've set - it's less inconvinent for anyone doing the scheduling than having people running over. And that way you'll have time for any questions. :)

It can definitely vary. The high school kids I judged read a page to page and a half essay at singlespace in 4 minutes.

Good luck!!
