    <title>Mar 25, Immigrants on trial for giving bribes</title>
    <link>http://www.ielts-useful-tips.com/IELTS-blog.html#Immigrants-on-trial-for-giving-bribes</link>
    <description>&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Some applicants for permanent residency and for student visas in Australia paid bribes for their IELTS scored tampered or falsified. These allegations surfaced during a trial of at least several people who are allegedly involved on this scheme.

This is a no no trick.  With the technology getting smarter, no misdeeds like this will go unpunished.

Don't ever try fooling yourself by doing this.  Good preparation and hard work are just what someone needs to have a good IELTS result that would qualify him for immigration purposes or for student visa.

Practice, practice, practice are the keys for IELTS success.&lt;/div&gt;</description>
