Typing in zhuyin on AP Chinese

Has anyone here taking the AP Chinese test using zhuyin your input method? My AP Administrator found from the manual that “keyboard maps” are not allowed on the exam. But I type really slow if I can not see the characters! Has anyone run into this problem before? If so, how did you solve it?

Everyone uses Pinyin, or a few use the Microsoft Phonetic IME. Didn’t you spend x number of years in Chinese class in HS learning Pinyin? Or is all you knowledge based on going to Taiwanese school before you went to HS? Even most of the Taiwanese weekend programs that I know of uses Pinyin now.

Yes I am taking the test based on my knowledge that I learned from Taiwan. I did not know that Taiwanese weekend program use pinyin now!

I’m not sure how flexible the Microsoft New Phonetic IME will be. In a normal setting you could customize to use bopomofo, but I doubt if you’ll get the ability to customize.
