IELTS One Skill Retake
Retake one IELTS skill instead of the full test.
A practical overview of what One Skill Retake is, eligibility, application steps, costs, conditions, and preparation tips.
What it is
IELTS One Skill Retake allows eligible candidates to retake one component: Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking. It is useful when one score is below your target while your other scores are strong.
Eligibility
Eligibility depends on your test center and test type. Candidates usually need a recent eligible IELTS result and must apply within the permitted period set by the provider.
Costs and application
Fees vary by country and test center. Apply through your official test taker account or contact your local IELTS provider. Always confirm deadlines before booking.
Important conditions
Only one skill can be retaken. Institutions may have different policies on accepting One Skill Retake results, so check your university, employer, or immigration authority first.
Tips before applying
- Check whether your receiving organization accepts One Skill Retake.
- Analyze why the original score was lower: timing, grammar, task response, anxiety, or strategy.
- Book only after completing targeted practice and feedback.
- Use a timed mock test for the specific skill before the retake.
