IELTS One Skill Retake allowed me to get extra points for PR, improving my chances of getting an invitation to apply! Organisations should definitely allot One Skill Retake as it gives test takers a fair chance by minimising the effect of factors such as nervousness, overwhelm, test conditions, personal circumstances that may have affected their score in the first attempt. IELTS One Skill Retake helps test takers and also gives you a sense of calm and assurance to know that you can retake one skill. I would recommend IELTS because it’s widely accepted, recognised worldwide and gives the chance to retake one skill.

I didn’t pass my first test so I took One Skill Retake to obtain a higher score. I think all organisations could consider One Skill Retake because the procedure of the test is same with same merit based on people’s English ability. I appreciate IELTS’ offer of One Skill Retake because some people might not be able to do well in all the sections in one go and One Skill Retake gives candidates a chance to sharpen particular skills and gain more confidence too. I will recommend One Skill Retake to my friends because there are still a lot of people who are not aware of this opportunity. So, my friends can focus on their weaknesses and achieve higher scores.

I am happy that IELTS is offering One Skill Retake, because it allowed me to register as a nurse in Australia. I am very delighted that I was able to take One Skill Retake for my assessment in Australia. It helped me register as a nurse here. I was able to focus on only one test component and was able to achieve my desired score. IELTS One Skill Retake is a very good option. I decided to take an IELTS test instead of PTE Academic because in the IELTS Speaking test, we can interact with a human examiner and the overall structure of the exam is better compared to PTE. I am happy to recommend IELTS to all my friends.

I am really happy that OSR is available in India. Don’t be discouraged that your band score from one skill will let you down from being accepted in your visa or dream universities.

I felt very motivated to take IELTS One Skill Retake because I was able to focus on what needs to be improved for that one skill.

One Skill Retake is cost-effective and time-saving. I felt less pressure as I only needed to focus on one skill.

The advantage of One Skill Retake is you can just focus on the one part, and you don’t have to worry about the rest, making it a very easy experience.

IELTS gives a reliable indication of entry level English Proficiency. Other tests are less satisfactory at providing this.

We consider an IELTS qualification to be a reliable indication of a student's English language competencies and of their ability to pursue their higher education in English.

With IELTS, the world is a smaller place. I sat the test before leaving Japan and received a band score of 8.5, satisfying visa requirements.
