Students applying to university in New Zealand can now use IELTS One Skill Retake as part of their application. Auckland University of Technology was one of the first institutions to accept the service, and have been using it to support their recruitment policy.
IELTS One Skill Retake is a valuable tool in ensuring talented individuals have the opportunity to meet our English language requirements. It allows quality students, who may have faced challenges in a single skill area, to demonstrate their true abilities and pursue their studies with us. This flexibility aligns with our commitment to supporting diverse, high-calibre candidates from around the world.
IELTS One Skill Retake gives applicants a flexible alternative to meet organisations’ English language requirements without the need to retake the whole test and without compromising on IELTS’ high-stakes quality.
The service allows test takers to reattempt one of the four test sections (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking) within 60 days if they didn’t achieve their desired score in that section during their initial test. This option aims to give test takers a second chance to achieve their goals for study, migration, or work by improving their performance in a specific skill area.
IELTS One Skill Retake helps test takers and also gives you a sense of calm and assurance to know that you can retake one skill. I would recommend IELTS because it’s widely accepted, recognised worldwide and gives the chance to retake one skill.
UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) has also approved IELTS One Skill Retake for use as part of the Secure English Language Test (SELT) requirements for those wishing to live, work and study in the UK.
IELTS One Skill Retake is now available at IELTS test centres in more than 110 countries. Find out more about the benefits of IELTS One Skill Retake.
