IELTS One Skill Retake: A New Opportunity for Test Takers

Introduction

Millions globally rely on their IELTS scores for study, work, and migration purposes. Achieving the best possible score often requires thorough preparation and support. To enhance test takers' confidence, we've introduced the IELTS One Skill Retake, allowing you to retake a single section of the test - Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking - without having to redo all four.

The New Option: IELTS One Skill Retake

If you've recently completed a full IELTS test on a computer and received your score from an eligible test center, you're now eligible for the IELTS One Skill Retake. This option must be exercised within 60 days of your original test date. For more details, refer to our FAQ section below.

Early adopters of the IELTS One Skill Retake have lauded this new feature. A Melbourne-based test taker shared, "Discovering the IELTS One Skill Retake was a stroke of luck. It's a game-changer for test takers like me."
