In my day at Caltech, it operated on the honor system, meaning it was trivial to cheat and get away with it.
An interesting consequence of the honor system is since the students liked it, they hated cheaters. Any student who was cheating was well advised to not tell anyone about it. Wanna be ostracized? Brag about cheating.
I remember one Physics midterm which most of the class failed. Not what you'd expect if there was significant cheating.
