I. Purpose
Thirty Minutes Prep is an all-inclusive website devoted to high
school extemp speaking. We turn every thirty minutes into a power round speech.
Thirty Minutes Prep was created by and is administered
by Craig Ormson, a former qualifier for CFLs and NFLs in policy
debate, extemporaneous speaking, and/or Congress. He also was
a head policy debate coach for three years.
He is currently an attorney with the Social Security
Administration. Any opinions pertaining to Social Security policies
or issues are my own personal opinions and do not reflect the
opinions of the Social Security Administration. Similarly, any
information pertaining to Social Security policies or issues are
based on publicly available documents and are not based on any
private or unavailable documents.
II. Practice Questions Package
Thirty Minutes Prep offers a two-month practice
questions package for $10. Customers will receive 50 practice
questions each month. The practice questions will be emailed to
the customer on the 1st of each month. These practice questions
are not placed in The Draw until two months after their original
release, i.e. practices questions emailed on September 1 will
not be placed in the draw until November 1.
The pratice questions packages can be purchased
via DebateChamps.
III. The Draw
The Draw is designed to simulate an extemp round. You have the
option of selecting the category (US, International, Combined) and the number
of questions (1 through 5). There are hundreds of questions in each category.
The questions are mainly taken from articles in the New York Times, Wall Street
Journal, and Economist.
IV. Summaries and Podcasts
All summaries and podcasts are available for free. No new summaries or podcasts will be posted.
