Good News! Candidates for immigration to Canada will be able to retake a single module of the IELTS test rather than having to retake all four modules if they want to enhance their overall score.
What’s About the News?
Here is some good news for you if you plan on retaking the IELTS in order to receive a higher band score. Test takers may choose to retake the IELTS single module in order to improve their band scores for any of the four skills (writing, reading, hearing, and speaking), according to the official IDP announcement.
Who’s Conducting The IELTS?
IDP and the British Council are the recognized bodies in charge of administering the IELTS exam. IELTS is a worldwide exam that both native and non-native English speakers can take to demonstrate their proficiency in reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
Types of IELTS
There are two IELTS test options: academic and general, depending on your career goals.
If your goal is to immigrate to a foreign country, the IELTS general training test is the one you should be taking. If you’re searching for entrance to a higher education program abroad, you must choose IELTS academic. Both the academic and general IELTS exams are eligible for retakes.
The IELTS One Skill Retake enables you to
- Retake any of the four IELTS abilities (listening, reading, writing, or speaking).
- Improve your original result without having to retake the entire test in order to reach your study, employment or migration objectives.
The Benefits of Taking IELTS One Skill Retake
- IELTS One Skill Retake has the same format and timing as the regular IELTS test, thus your test preparation strategy should be the same.
- You save time by not attempting the other three talents.
- You will be sent a new IELTS Test Report Form (TRF) with your IELTS One Skill Retake score as well as your original performance results. You have the option of using your new or old TRF.
- Your other test results will not alter from your original performance, so you may walk into your IELTS One Skill Retake test with complete confidence.
