IELTS is a very simple but standard test for ascertaining English proficiency of a candidate. It is simple for two reasons. One is that it grades every test taker independent of any other test taker. There is no percentile system where your score is affected by the performance of others. And two is that the difficulty level of questions in all the sections viz. listening, reading, writing, and speaking, is quite average unlike competitive exams. It is standard because most of the universities around the world especially Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Europe consider IELTS score in their admission processes.
Most IELTS test takers find difficulty in Reading and Writing sections of the exam. Weak understanding of the mechanics of English grammar is one of the reasons for their poor performance in the Writing section. People struggle with concepts and they try to memorize the rules instead of learning and understanding.

IELTS is an exam that needs concerted preparation in four different areas that are tested viz. Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. As such a sound integration of various human faculties is imperative. However, most test takers resort to tips, tricks and short-cuts rather than focusing on creating a better understanding of the questions and the approach to solve them. Consequently, the fail-rate in IELTS is very high, as much as 80%. Therefore, many people have to take the test over and over again spending more time and money with every attempt. In that process they keep on imbibing wrong approach which is difficult to un-learn, creating further problems in the subsequent attempts.
