If you achieved your desired IELTS result, congratulations! There’s a world of opportunity ahead of you.
However, if you’d like to improve just one component of your IELTS test, we have introduced a new feature: IELTS One Skill Retake.
We know most test takers get the scores they need the first time. But if you feel you haven’t performed to your best in all areas, IELTS One Skill Retake can help you get back on track.
IELTS One Skill Retake is a new option that allows you to retake one of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) of the IELTS test if you need to improve your score in that area. This is a great way to boost your overall IELTS score if you feel you didn't perform your best in one particular skill.
To be eligible for IELTS One Skill Retake, you must have:
Recently completed a full test on computer from an eligible test centre.
Received your IELTS test score.
Book your IELTS One Skill Retake within 60 days of your original test date.
IELTS One Skill Retake is now available at (please links to corresponding test centres)
It's coming soon to more test centres across Australia.

We are also happy to announce that IELTS One Skill Retake is now accepted by Ahpra and National Boards, Engineers Australia and Chartered Accountants ANZ for registration in their respective sectors.
Always check the website of the organisation you intend to apply to for more information about eligibility requirements.
