<p>So I was wondering if typing for this test is like typing on a windows computer with chinese input installed. I read that the program uses Microsoft IME something something and I know you can use pinyin/bopomofo, so that's good. Can you type common phrases easily like 游泳 or 了解?</p>
<p>Yes, it’s easy. If you have access to a computer with the Microsoft Chinese IME, then you can use that to practice. Do note that it will be the one that comes with Windows XP, not Vista or 7 (which are far easier to use in my opinion). It’s not the “New Experience Input Style”.</p>
