Casting time is calculated by figuring total seconds required for each undefined lynchpin, multiplied by the number of Components of Sorcery that are utilized within the casting.

Prep Time is calculated by figuring total casting time in seconds if no lynchpins are pre-set, multiplying by number of Components, then converting that number directly to minutes.

Lynchpins

Target? (This LP takes one second/minute to close if the target is a finite point or an individual, or 5 seconds/minutes to close if the spell affects an area -- note that LARGE areas (more than Brute Psyche x Brute Psyche in square footage) add yet more time.
Destination? (This LP takes 5 seconds/minutes to close if the destination is visible in line-of-sight, 10 seconds/minutes to close if the destination is a memorized one. -- this usually applies to apportation spells.)
Shadow Rules? (This LP takes 5 seconds/minutes to close , during which time the caster defines the magickal rules of the Shadow(s) in which the spell must function (not necessary if you use the 'invoke power' advanced component).)
Duration? (5 seconds/minutes to define duration of the spell -- 'instantaneous' spells ignore this lynchpin)
Now? (No matter how much pre-definition to do during the hanging of a spell, you still have to add a second to the casting time to tell it to happen NOW.)

Add the seconds that currently open lynchpins will cost to close the spell, then multiply by the number of sorcery components that will comprise the spell.)
