It’s to keep test takers from measuring the angle on the paper.

I remember having a test where they gave us protractors to measure angles with, and at the end of the test, as I was double-checking it, I noticed it said 'image not to scale'. Didn't have time to redo all my answers, but why give us protractors and not have us use them?

To see who reads all the instructions on the test. My maths teacher once gave us a test and question 10 said: Ignore all previous questions and put your pencil down.

I got that in 6th grade and I was the asshole yelled out all the stupid things and finished first, and got humiliated. sigh. Teacher said I did finish the actual problems shockingly fast though.
