IELTS One Skill Retake by British Council 2023 (Update)

International students whose native language is not English are required to take IELTS academic exam if they wish to apply for admission or scholarship abroad in order to provide evidence of their English language proficiency skill and this is where British Council and IDP were offering IELTS academic test but at very high cost with four modules of reading, speaking, writing, and reading.

As you might already know that the cost of taking an IELTS academic ranges between US$215 – US$310 which depends on your nationality. So after you take this IELTS exam, in case you are not happy with your band scores then previously you had to rebook the whole IELTS test again by paying full IELTS exam fees but now this mechanism has been changed by British council because now they allow test takes to rebook any single module (Writing, reading, listening, and speaking) to improve their band score in each of these modules independently.

Currently as you read my article this IELTS one skill retake program launched by British council is rolled out in Canada, Philipines, Singapore, Pakistan, Rawanda, Myanmar, Ethiopia, India, Malaysia, Azerbaijan, Cambodia, Hongkong, Uganda, Macau, Indonesia, Thailand, and Kenya. Whereas British council is already working at their best to roll out this one skill retake test program to all other countries where they are operating and by the first week of 2024 this program will be live globally.
