Message 1: IELTS Assessments of English Competency
Date: 06-Jan-2006

Subject: IELTS Assessments of English Competency


We found out that some Chinese IELTS test takers obtained a particular 
score but did not meet the corresponding CAN DO standards in real-life 
situations. 
 
We know the IELTS tests were not forged (can be checked easily through 
www.ielts.org). 
 
So we are left with the following question: 
How do Chinese students manage to obtain IELTS test scores which do not 
match their level of English?
