Một bài viết ko theo tiếng Việt. Nghi vấn trọng tâm lộ đề. Một điểm quan trọng trong đề án là quy định bảo mật, tổ chức trông thi. Trước đó không rõ có đảm bảo ko? Thí sinh có gắn tai nghe mini ko? Có khả năng thông đồng không? ... Trước khi có quy định thì chỉ là vi phạm nội quy tổ chức, giải quyết nội bộ ỉm đi thôi.
A.T., 25, a former student of Ho Chi Minh City University of Law, said that she used to spend money buying forecast tests from two different online fan pages.
T. split the fee with four other students so each had to pay VND2 million ($82) for the first fan page.
She was then given a packet of 80 test samples to practice, which included all of the components of listening, speaking, reading, and writing. The dealer guaranteed that when the actual test was conducted, each component would match at least one part of the samples.
For the other fan page, T. signed up for the test by herself, with the price of VND8 million ($330).
On the morning of the test day, the dealer instructed T. to keep an eye on her phone and wait for the answer message, which was sent as a string of letters A, B, C, and D in the order of the test's multiple-choice questions.
The closer the exam time comes, the more accurate answers the supplier would provide.
“At that time, the forecast tests that I bought matched one reading part and all the listening parts,” T. said.
On social media platforms, nowadays, it is not difficult to come across sites that promote IELTS test prediction packages.
Depending on how accurate the forecast is, the cost of each package varies from a few million VND to tens of millions of VND. (VND1 million = $41)
One page, for example, promotes a package of nine practice exams that are claimed to have a 100 percent probability of matching the actual test.
Some pages even offer candidates a VIP practice test, promising that the test takers will only need to review a single sample exam.
If the predicted exam does not correspond to the actual paper, the merchant will reimburse all payments.
Flattered with certificate but stuttering to use language
Phung Quang Huy, an English teacher at the High School of Education Sciences under the Vietnam National University-Hanoi, claimed that a large number people are looking to purchase IELTS prediction tests.
One time, four of his students walked into the IELTS exam room with a set of forecast answers in hand.
There is a chance that the predicted samples will match the actual test, but the likelihood is not high, especially considering that IELTS exam organizers have increased security procedures in recent times.
If there is any indication that the official test has been leaked, they can alter the test materials at the eleventh hour.

According to Huy, the vast majority of candidates study IELTS solely to achieve the desired band score without understanding the test's primary purpose.
Furthermore, some well-to-do parents believe that their children will need to take the IELTS exam sooner or later, therefore they encourage them by investing a substantial amount of money in learning courses at once.
Tran Tin Nghi, head of the foreign language department at the Ho Chi Minh City University of Food Industry, indicated that despite achieving a high score in IELTS or another international or domestic English language tests, some individuals still face various obstacles in the workplace or academic setting.
Meanwhile, Pham Vu Phi Ho, deputy head of the foreign language department at Van Lang University in Ho Chi Minh City, explained that IELTS or any language tests are all forms to test learners' ability to use the language.
Therefore, if a person's English proficiency is average, they can score between 6.0 and 6.5 on the IELTS.
Consequently, the approach of rote learning that focuses solely on memorizing sample exams in order to achieve a high score misrepresents the original purpose of the IELTS test.
According to Ho, in order for students to enhance their English skills, they should spend more time practicing the language or join an online English-learning group where they will have the opportunity to communicate in English.
Be wary of getting banned from taking the exam
The British Council and IDP Education, who administer IELTS alongside Cambridge English Language Assessment, have sent a notification to test takers in Vietnam of numerous violations of the reputation of the IELTS exam, including claims to supply test papers before the official test date.
The British Council and IDP both require candidates to be vigilant when receiving such information and confirm that major cases of cheating may result in the cancelation of test results, a two-year test suspension, and denial of approval for a length of time determined by the worldwide IELTS certifying authorities.
