Ya' gotta hate them, no?
I believe I've seen the back of them

Or are you one of those people who actually do GOOD in them?
I've done several in my time and strangely enough they've been good when I needed them to be good (i.e. in the exam hall)

Do you leave them until the very last day?
Never, two or three days at most

What was the worst essay you ever had?
The ones in the exam about boring subjects such as "you are trying to write an informative passage to try and get people to donate money for a certain good cause". Also a couple of the questions in my economics GCE were pretty draining

Actually Catcher in the Rye is one of the few books I've read and I would have loved to have done an essay on it as opposed to rot that was the Withered Arm. Back then I didn't even wanna touch the book because I thought it was diseased or something
