    What's the essay for?
    How much do you know about the essay content?
    How well can you write essays?

    How long does the essay have to be? Is it official coursework or just a class assignment? How long does it usually take you to write a decent essay?
    I'd give yourself at least a few days, to take lots of breaks, and maybe have someone else check it.
