How do you handle the HSK 'writing' requirement if you hate manual character stroke order?

I'm an exam-focused learner preparing for HSK 4, but I find memorizing stroke order for complex characters incredibly tedious. Does anyone have a system that helped them pass the exam without losing their mind over written characters, or should I just accept that I need to grind the writing to measure my progress accurately? I am asking specifically about learning Mandarin, not a generic study routine.
