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.

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.
