What is the proper length of time for an examination of conscience for someone who hasn't confessed for a year?

Would you ask for a general confession?

For a general confession I'd imagine a few hours

Maybe you can write everything down once it comes to mind until you get to confession.

Just go through the 10 commandments and the precepts of the Church. It shouldn't take that long.

Here is a good examination of conscience written by a priest in 1959.
