They do a lot to try to avoid cheating, limit memorizing answers, and so on. There is a conflict of interest with actually trusting the school whose reputation depends on how well their students do. Over the years, I've run into quite a few cheating scandals with other tests where teachers tried to improve scores. Because of that, I think that their precautions are very reasonable.
