British Council Launches IELTS One Skill Retake: Enhance Your Score Module by Module

In 2023, The British Council commenced IELTS One Skill Retake, which permits test-takers to improve single modules that they scored lowly instead of retaking the tests in totality . For example, if a candidate scored 7 bands, but attained 5 in any of the modules, they have the chance to retake that module without repeating the full test. In addition, candidates can improve other skills such as Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking. Although the initiative was rolled out in some countries, it is anticipated to be available globally by the end of 2023, and most European universities accept it. Below are more details and terms and conditions.
