What is IELTS One Skill Retake, and how does it work? IELTS One Skill Retake is a new feature designed to help you get your desired test score without retaking the full test. If you want to improve your score on one test skill, you can retake any of the four IELTS skills – Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking.  IELTS One Skill Retake is now available with the British Council in Indonesia. It will further be available worldwide in selected British Council test locations from late 2023.

To help your IELTS test day go as smoothly as possible, we’ve put together some information and advice about what will happen on the day.
