The fee to retake an IELTS skill is more than 2.9 million VND.

Candidates can register to retake one IELTS skill from April 5, for about VND2.95 million, equal to more than 60% of the exam fee for all four skills.

IDP Education and the British Council today announced the launch of the One Skill Retake (OSR) feature for IELTS. Candidates who want to improve their score will not need to retake the entire test.

According to IDP, the first round of testing will begin on April 15, and will then be flexible according to the needs of candidates. OSR will take place at Phan Boi Chau (Hanoi), Hai Ba Trung (HCMC) and the main campus in Da Nang. The British Council has not yet announced the test schedule.

On April 3, the Ministry of Education and Training agreed to allow these two units to deploy the OSR feature. The Ministry requested BC and IDP to publicly and fully announce and coordinate the issuance of certificates, ensuring that the test scores show all 4 skills (Listening, Speaking, Reading, Writing).

Candidates can register for OSR once, within 60 days from the original exam date, provided they have completed all the papers and received their results. Currently, OSR is available in about 30 countries and territories, such as Australia, Cambodia, Canada, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Turkey, etc.

IELTS is an international English test, recognized by more than 12,000 organizations worldwide. In Vietnam, BC and IDP are the two licensed organizations to organize this test. The most popular test is IELTS Academic, with a fee of nearly 4.7 million VND per test.

According to statistics from the organization that owns the test, the average IELTS score of Vietnamese people in 2022 is 6.2, ranked 23rd in the world.
