It simply says that "ETS employees were in such a rush to get late exams back to schools that they attempted to recruit hotel bar staff as graders". The article goes on to say that these exams were a British exam used to decide class placement: "ETS was supposed to report the British test scores by July 8, but it has yet to deliver all of the exams, which were administered to 11- and 14-year-old students and often are used to determine their class placement." (A picture and caption describe the exam as the GCSE.) Goldberg simply writes that ETS also makes the SAT, in addition to the many other exams it writes.
