The Government's Qualifications and Curriculum Authority admitted the rush to find a company to run exams in 2009 meant there was "no guarantee" results would be delivered on time.
It said a lack of time to draw up detailed plans, run trial tests and ensure markers were up to the job "could well result in failure" to meet deadlines.
The hiring of a new firm was carried out in just nine weeks - instead of the nine to 12 months normally spent finding a contractor, the QCA warned.
Ed Balls, the Schools Secretary, appeared to accept the possibility of a delay, saying he "understood" concerns the deadline "may not be met".
The admission - in series of letters between the QCA and Mr Balls - represents the most stark warning yet of further disruption for thousands of schoolchildren across England.
Fears will be heightened by the decision just a fortnight ago to axe the QCA's testing wing - the National Assessment Agency - and suspend its two top civil servants following a damning official report into last summer's marking blunders.
Jesus. Why does this fucking government insist upon farming out operational responsibility to managerialist "experts" who can't organise the fucking proverbial pissup in a brewery?*
There is a long fucking line of cock-up after cock-up, and this from the party who insisted the key issue was "education, education, education."
The only consolation for the kids is that the education is so fucking shit anyway, it doesn't matter whether they get streamed or not. They'll still be illiterate and innumerate at the end of it all.
Nice going. I hope all you Labour tribal voters are fucking proud of yourselves. And I hope you all get fucking face cancer.
Cunts.
*I know: it's so that they can't blamed for anything when it goes wrong, but can still crow in the unlikely event of something going right, the cunts.

This is what happens when you try to govern by crisis management.
Gordon Brown does not act, he merely reacts, to bad stuff, badly, cunt.
As an old fart these days I can say that I did my O levels in May/June 1969 and got my results in August of that year and my A levels in May/June 1971 and got my results in August of that year. If this could be achieved regularly 40 years ago why are these monkeys fucking it all up so repeatedly these days? You know the old exam boards actually worked so why not revert to that system? Or better yet why was it changed whe it worked so well? Was it because it was so challenging only a relatively small percentage of pupils passed and went on to university? Noo Labour's obsession with equality means dumbing down to the lowest common denominator rather than excellence in education and a complete fuck up for a lot of children. Thank God my local village college is a good one and that my 3 girls got a decent education with a bit of help from me.
Balls wants shooting. I could have sorted this mess out and I'm just me. Nah, shooting is too quick.
The old exam board probably marked papers in red ink (can't use that now in case it upsets the kids), and told stupid kids that they should try harder (definitely mustn't tell them that!) And I don't suppose they would have any truck with the current attempts to "dumb down" exam results.
"Balls wants shooting. Nah, shooting is too quick."
Why not shoot him in the balls? That ought to be a painful and slow demise....
