IELTS now offers more ways to get the score you need!
Your IELTS results
Everyone who completes an IELTS test receives an official IELTS Test Report Form. Your TRF is a certificate that reports your results as band scores which range from band 0 to band 9, with each band corresponding to a level of English-language proficiency. You will get an overall band score, as well as one for each part of the test - Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking.

Recently, we’ve launched IELTS One Skill Retake (OSR). If you didn’t show your potential in one skill on test day, IELTS One Skill Retake allows you to retake one section of the four-part English language test.
With IELTS One Skill Retake, you will receive another official IELTS Test Report Form (TRF). This includes your updated One Skill Retake score as well as the results for the other three skills in the original test. Your original TRF will also remain valid.

Now, let's take a look IELTS One Skill Retake (OSR) results in a bit more detail.

“First of all, I would like to share my appreciation that I’m eligible to do One Skill Retake. This is really important and helpful to those who just want to improve and get a better score in one skill and don't have to retake the whole test again. It also saves time for participants who have just missed one skill in their test. Overall, its really helpful for us.” -- Paulina
