IELTS NEWS - IELTS allows for a retake of a skill that has not been achieved

The organization IELTS allows candidates to retake one of the 4 skills to improve their scores in some places.

According to IELTS, this is the One Skill Retake (OSR) feature, applied since late 2022 for a certain group of candidates, then expanded to many countries and territories in 2023.

Currently, the OSR format is available in Bangladesh, Australia, Cambodia, Canada, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Italy, Japan, Kenya, South Korea, Malaysia, Moldova, Nepal, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Oman, the Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.

Candidates are allowed to register for a retake of a certain skill once, within 60 days from the date of the initial exam, provided that they have completed the entire test and received the results. Exam fees vary by location.
