For my students who care a huge amount about grades, if others made up the test students would likely get upset with you for not just teaching to the tests. Deviations on my part would be seen as reducing their chances of getting I-banking jobs.
The logical conclusion then is that it's absolutely crucial that the tests are designed in such a way that guessing the teacher's password is impossible and solid background knowledge and genuine understanding of the subject is essential to getting a good grade.
And if that's not possible, then that implies we're entirely dependent on the teachers knowing what they're doing and being able to do their job well and we should focus all our efforts on ensuring that that's the case.
