The One Skill Retake (OSR) lets you resit just one section of IELTS — Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking — instead of the full test. You keep your scores from the original test and only replace the section you retook.
It's a significant time and money saver. But there's a catch: not every university or institution accepts it. Some still require a full test sitting.
IELTS Academic and IELTS General Training on paper and computer-delivered tests.
Your destination — university, employer, or visa authority — must explicitly accept OSR scores.
You're close to your target in all skills except one. OSR saves you from retaking the whole test.
Policies change. Even a confirmed result here should be verified directly with the institution before booking.
