Is there any difference between the marking scheme or score allotment of IDP and BC?

Hi,

I am in Coimbatore, south India.
I sat for both BC and IDP in 1 week gap.

BC : 8,7,6,6.5
IDP: 8,8,6.5,6.5

again at IDP: 8,8,7,6.5

in my experience , IDP is quite easy in assessment . and reading also they provide question easy to answer than BC.

But all IELTS centre claim that it is a global exam and same everywhere irrespective of place you taking the test.

I am pretty sure it depends on where you take the test.

anyway, check with other people before you proceed,

Goodluck :)

Thanks for sharing your experience, durai.

Sunshine, the manner in which the IELTS is administered and graded is standardized. It shouldn't make a difference where you sit your exam.
