What is IELTS One Skill Retake?
IELTS One Skill Retake is a new way to help you reach your potential and showcase your full English language ability. With IELTS One Skill Retake, you now have the option to retake any one section of the test (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) if you need to improve on one area (instead of retaking all four sections). We know most people get the scores they need first time, but if you feel you have not performed to your best in all areas, IELTS One Skill Retake can be that help to get you back on track. It is available for both IELTS Academic and General Training tests.
