In 9th grade, not effectively though. Looking at the blacked out keyboard and only using 3 fingers per hand was more than enough to "pass" those assignments.

I didn't really learn to touch type until college. And I used Dvorak layout with a QWERTY labeled board. No other way than touch type.

So glad I did. And I can now touch type on Dvorak, or with a little bit of refresher time (about 15 or so minutes) get into QWERTY touch type mindset.
