It's not just cheating, it's also the fact that when you have to use automated grading, it's much more difficult to create good tests.

I hope in the future they offer you the option of taking a real test at a testing center, which is graded by a human being.

You missed the point, the idea wasn't to pass a test. The idea was to follow the course for the sake of learning.

As for the option of taking a real test at a testing center, I don't see the point since it would be US only.
