What is IELTS One Skill Retake?

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.
