I practiced a question similar to this, and I think NIST SP 800-60 was mentioned in the context of categorizing information systems, not testing.

I'm a little confused by all the different NIST special publications listed here. I'll have to review my notes to try to remember which one is focused on network security testing guidelines. Hopefully I can narrow it down.
