Just to clear some points: there is no administrative connection between the volunteers which provide the dictionary service and the testing. For this kind of national test you are not supposed to be able to bring in dictionaries, communication devices or any other helper material, it's just you and your brain. Classrooms where the exam is taken are outfitted with cameras, so in the event that there are suspicions of cheating, the footage may help. Of course, all of this does not mean that nobody will be able to cheat.

Finally, I think it's useful to point out that this was just the team of volunteers behind the online dictionary who modified the definition of 3 very uncommon words for a few hours.
