You get 2hrs to write 3 essays.
Therefore for one essay you should spend a maximum of 40mins on it

Usually, I aim for 35/40/45 to account for exhaustion causing slower thinking and writing speeds but it's 40 minutes on average.

In a generic essay you should probably aim for about 1200 words in 40 minutes

1200 is pretty hard to get, especially if you're writing for 2hrs (3600 words), just aim for 1100, that's a good number

40 minutes on each essay
3 essays x 40 mins for each = 2hrs

It's estimated roughly 1,000 words or 2 booklets on average (from what I got told), if you can manage 1100-1200 good for you, just aim for it to be around the 1,000 word mark.
