I'm a native English speaker, so it doesn't apply.
I thought I'd come and say hello anyway.
hehee okay.. so do u think.. a native English Speaker doesn't have to take this test anymore? hm.. i ever try to take a class for IELTS preparation, and my professor said that in the IELTS test the most difficult test is the IELTS reading test.. :)) it's not easy for people to get perfect point on Reading Test, even a Native English Teacher. He/She may thinks it a bit difficult too, is that true? :))

In my opinion, no it is not true, the hardest part is writing the composition, because most students do not read the question fully and so do not answer correctly. Also the listening/speaking part is extremely important and carries more points.
If you have difficulty in the reading part then your level of English is below the standard required to take the exam.
HuggerMan4U: What is this test, anyway? Never heard of it.
International English Language Testing System, it is the exam used to ensure a foreign student wishing to study abroad (UK, Canada, AUS, USA etc) have attained a certain level of English as a second language. So they can understand their tutors and comprehend text books etc. Basically so they can communicate with native English speakers.
I teach it to some of my students here in China, when they want to study abroad.
It is not that hard to pass, but the higher they score, the better the university they can enrol in.
