The true value of the NFHS tests are skewed by how the state associations use them.
NFHS does not have an enforceable procedure nation wide to verify the usage of these tests. Instead they leave it up to the state associations to administer the tests, score them and place whatever importance on these tests.
Some states require officials to take them closed book, some open book, some once every X years.
I agree you have to put the use of these tests into the perspective of where you live and how the tests are used.
Just like high school proficiency tests, the NFHS tests are for the benefit of a larger organization to say "Here is our standard, pass this and you can go officiate."
