Another reason is the difficulty level of the passages. For IELTS Academic Reading, the passages might be narrative, descriptive or argumentative. Sometimes, it may also include diagrams or graphs.

Thus, comprehending passages with different levels of difficulty and answering them correctly becomes a difficult task.
