Question: What is the fee for IELTS One Skill Retake (single-subject retake) in China?
Answer:
In mainland China (中国大陆), the fee for IELTS One Skill Retake (雅思单科重考) is 1400 RMB (报名费1400元人民币). This applies to the British Council (BC) computer-delivered tests, as One Skill Retake is only available for computer-based IELTS in eligible centers.
Additional details:
- Cancellation fee (退考费): 380 RMB (effective from January 1, 2026).
- This is significantly lower than the full IELTS test fee, which is 2170 RMB for Academic/General Training or 2220 RMB for UKVI versions.
- Availability: Currently offered at selected British Council test centers in cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Chongqing. You must book via the official WeChat mini-program “雅思考试官方服务平台” or the NEEA portal after your original computer-based test.
- The fee is fixed for mainland China and does not vary by skill (Listening, Reading, Writing, or Speaking).
- Note: Earlier sources (from 2024-2025) sometimes showed slight variations in related fees, but the most up-to-date official information confirms 1400 RMB for booking as of 2026.
For the absolute latest confirmation or to check availability at your specific center, log into your test taker account on the official IELTS registration site (ielts.neea.cn) or contact British Council support (ieltsosr@britishcouncil.org.cn or phone 010-58103306).
This option remains a cost-effective way to target one weak skill within the 60-day window.
