Anyone who narrowly missed the required band in a single module. Instead of redoing all four, you improve just the one and keep your other scores.
IELTS One Skill Retake
The One Skill Retake lets you resit one module — Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking — without sitting the entire test again. You receive an updated Test Report Form combining your retake score with your original three scores.
- Available for computer-delivered IELTS at participating centres.
- You must retake within a set period of your original test.
- Ideal if you missed your target band in just one skill.
It saves time and money compared with resitting the whole exam — perfect if, for example, you got 7.0 everywhere but 6.5 in Writing.
No — it is currently for computer-delivered IELTS at participating centres.
