The International English Language Testing System or IELTS is one of the

most widely accepted English proficiency tests worldwide. For many

people, it is a crucial step toward achieving academic and career goals.

Millions of students take the IELTS test every year in India. Many people

have to take the test multiple times to get the desired result, which is a very

costly business. But now this is all going to change.

IELTS has now introduced the IELTS One Skill Retake. It is a new way for

test takers to achieve their desired score without having to retake the whole

exam, risking their scores in other formats. Test takers will now have the

chance to re-take just a single skill or module (Listening, Reading Writing,

or Speaking) to improve their scores.

Top points to note about IELTS One Skill Retake:

● You can book a One Skill Retake within 60 days of the original test

● You can take a single One Skill Retake test for one original test

● The timing and format of the One Skill Retake test will be the same

as that skill in a full IELTS test

● One Skill Retake is available for Academic and General Training test

Formats

● One Skill Retake is available in all IELTS on Computer Centres

● The price for One Skill Retake will vary, you need to contact your

local test centre

● A new TRF will be issued with new scores in the skill you

re-attempted as well as your original scores in other skills, you can

use either the original or new TRF

● One SKill Retake is eligible for Canada’s SDS Category Visa

Benefits of the One-Module Retake

● Flexibility and Customization: The most prominent advantage of

the one-module retake is the flexibility it offers. Test takers can now

focus on improving specific areas where they may have struggled in

their previous attempt, whether it’s Speaking, Listening, Reading, or

Writing. This customization enables candidates to allocate their time,

resources, and efforts more efficiently.

● Reduced Time and Cost: Traditionally, retaking the entire IELTS

exam meant investing substantial time and money. With the

one-module retake option, candidates can save both. They no longer

need to retest in sections where they have already demonstrated

proficiency, making the process more cost-effective and time-efficient.

● Less Stress and Pressure: Retaking the entire IELTS test can be

stressful, especially if you only need to improve a single module. The

new system reduces the psychological burden on test takers, as they

can concentrate their efforts on one specific skill area.

● Improved Performance: Focusing on a single module allows

candidates to hone their skills in that particular aspect of English

language proficiency. This targeted approach can lead to better

performance in the retaken module, potentially resulting in higher

overall band scores.
