IELTS Send Exams to India for Fraudulent MarkingSource: Bagshaw in Sydney Morning Herald (2015)IELTS send exams to India to maximize massive economic surpluses and to avoid detection for
fraud crimes by domestic police services in Western nations such as Australia and Canada.
Slow examination process
The slowness of the IELTS examination process is notorious among IELTS test-takers, especially
among the many unfortunate persons who have been required to sit multiple IELTS examinations
(e.g. IELTS Liz, 2016; Magoosh, 2017b). Based on statistical sampling techniques, I estimate that
IELTS do not meet their self-defined service charter for examination results reporting, i.e. 13 days
(British Council 2017,) for no less than one quarter of their examination cycles.
