Hello,
Is the following sentence grammatically correct? In the sentence I refer to the IELTS exam, it's an English proficiency test like the TOEFL test.
"Anyone who is not an IELTS examiner will not know how the examiner scores the exam." |

| The sentence isn't awkward, though it may well seem quite complex to lower-level students! |

| A lower-level student might worry that this is a double negative. However, the negative adverbs are contained in separate clauses. |
