IELTS One Skill Retake

IELTS One Skill Retake offers a convenient option for those wishing to retake specific modules of the exam rather than all four sections. Accepted by over 12,000 visa and immigration departments and universities worldwide that recognize IELTS, it allows candidates to focus on improving specific skills.

You can access IELTS One Skill retake in India from all 78 test centres. The pattern, scoring, and timings will remain the same for whichever module you retake. However, this feature is only available for computer-delivered versions!

The IELTS retake fee for just one skill remains INR 11,300, depending on which exam type (Academic, General Training, or UKVI) you choose to take. 

Retaking a single module of the IELTS follows the same rules as the full exam. This means you are eligible to take the test regardless of your age or qualifications.

Here are a few other things you need to keep in mind before writing this test:  
 

• You must have recently completed the IELTS test in a computer-delivered format from an eligible test centre. 
• IELTS One Skill Retake is not available for paper-based tests at the moment.
• You must book the IELTS One Skill retake test within 60 days of the original test date.

IELTS test-takers often confuse IELTS EOR with IELTS One Skill Retake. Although both are great options for potentially boosting your scores, they differ significantly.

You can opt for IELTS Enquiry on Results if you strongly feel you have received the wrong scores. Upon requesting this, your IELTS results will be reviewed by senior examiners. These examiners must be aware of your previous scores and will look at your performance with a fresh perspective.

The results for IELTS EOR may take up to 21 days. You can choose one or more modules to be reviewed.

The IELTS One Skill Retake in India allows you to retake individual modules where you feel you could have performed better, allowing you to answer all the questions in your chosen module again.

If you're gearing up to retake the IELTS One Skill Retake exam to refine your abilities, consider these helpful tips:

1. Evaluate your past performance: Make sure to analyse the results from your previous test thoroughly. Sometimes, and especially if your score is above 6.0, there may be no need for a retake. It all depends on the university/organisation you’re applying to! If you’re unsure, seek advice from study abroad counsellors. 
 

2. Make a study plan that works: You have studied before, and you know your strengths and weaknesses. Evaluate what went wrong the last time, and add elements that work for you in your new study plan. It could be simple changes to the timetable. Maybe you didn’t spend enough time studying last time, so extend your study hours this time!

3. Understand the scoring: Reread the IELTS scoring pattern and how you score for each module. Once you understand how your performance will be measured, it will be easier to work towards it.

4. Ask for help: If you self-studied the first time and it didn’t work out, opting for some training sessions is best! Taking help may reduce the load of making a study plan and researching. You can focus simply on learning! 

5. Take practice tests: Practice tests are the easiest way to familiarise yourself with the test formats and to monitor your progress. Ensure you take at least 1 or 2 tests every week to stay on top of your game!
