Didn't get the IELTS band score you were aiming for? You may not need to retake the entire IELTS test.
With IELTS One Skill Retake (OSR), you can retake just one section — Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking — without repeating the other three.
Whether you're applying to study overseas, pursuing professional registration or preparing for migration, IELTS One Skill Retake gives you another opportunity to achieve the scores you need.
If you completed an eligible IELTS on computer test, you can take One Skill Retake within 60 days of your original test date.
IELTS One Skill Retake (OSR) allows eligible test takers to retake one of the four IELTS components — Listening, Reading, Writing or Speaking — instead of repeating all four skills.
It is available for eligible IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training tests taken on computer at participating test centres.
For example, if you achieved your required band scores in Listening, Reading and Speaking but fell short in Writing, you may choose to retake only the Writing component.
Your other three skill scores remain unchanged, and you will receive a new Test Report Form (TRF) showing your updated results.
The cost of IELTS One Skill Retake depends on your original IELTS test type.
