I don't think so.
A student who understands how the exam is structured and what the examiner is looking for will almost always score better than a student of a reasonably higher level without the exam preparation.

This is based on experience of TOEFL, Trinity and Cambridge exam preparation experience.
How would you feel if your best student in class failed to get even a 5 in any of the sections of an IELTS exam?
