It is an invalid complaint as the test is very authentic and reputable all over the world. Unlike listening and reading, where there are set answers and cannot be disputed, speaking and writing are evaluated by human beings. Hence, the scores are prone to change depending upon various external factors (time, mood, context, questions during the performance of the candidate).

Speak Like Kamini English and IELTS mentor since 9 + years in Greater Noida

Many say this, but then again many have managed to get the desired score in either the first or second on the subsequent attempt. Do not fall prey to such rumours. Believe in yourself, practice well and know that focussed hard work is the key to SUCCESS in IELTS.

PROFICIENT TUTOR of GMAT GRE IELTS TOEFL PTE SAT ACT FOR 15 YEARS

No, it's not like this. The IDPs are stricter in writing and speaking because it is subjective; therefore, they can control here and expect grammatically correct English, useful vocabulary, and excellent organisation of ideas.
