When you take IELTS as part of your plans to apply to study or work abroad, you will be expected to achieve a specific minimum band score. Check with the institution you plan to apply to about the IELTS band score you should be aiming for.
If you need to improve your IELTS score, One Skill Retake makes it possible to retake one section without repeating the whole test.
Who can access One Skill Retake?
- IELTS Academic test takers
- IELTS General Training test takers
- IELTS for UKVI test takers
You can repeat the IELTS Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking section with One Skill Retake. Make sure you book IELTS on Computer with the British Council so you can achieve your goals abroad.
Please note that One Skill Retake must take place within 60 days of your original IELTS test, in the same country where you first took the test.
Benefits of One Skill Retake
Focus on one skill and improve your overall band score
Save yourself time and focus on increasing your band score in a single section of the IELTS test. Use the free preparation material on our website to study for any section of IELTS.
Take a test you are familiar with
One Skill Retake follows the same format and timing as your original IELTS test. You will already be familiar with the IELTS on Computer format, which means you don’t need to worry about preparing for new question types.
Receive a new Test Report Form
After One Skill Retake, you will receive a new IELTS Test Report Form. This form will include your One Skill Retake score, your original IELTS score and your overall score. Read more here.
Original test scores remain the same
There will be no change to your original IELTS score. Once you have received your One Skill Retake results, you can choose to use that score or your original score to apply to study or work abroad.
