Can I repeat just one module in the IELTS exam?
Yes, it’s possible — under specific conditions.
The IELTS One Skill Retake allows you to retake just one part of the IELTS test — Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking — without repeating all four sections.
Key Details:
- Eligibility: You must have taken a computer-delivered IELTS test and received your full score report. The One Skill Retake is currently available only for computer-based tests at eligible centres.
- Booking Window: You can book your One Skill Retake within 60 days of your original test date.
- Results: Your new test report will show your updated score for the retaken module alongside your previous results.
Benefits:
- Focus on improving only the area you need.
- Save time and money by avoiding a full retake.
- Receive results faster than the full test.
This flexible option is ideal for candidates who are happy with three of their IELTS module scores but want to improve just one.
Speak English Institute, an official IELTS test venue in partnership with IDP, can help you prepare effectively for your IELTS One Skill Retake.
