Always confirm the current fee
IDP and the British Council Muscat centre both list the standard test at OMR 106, but some partner venues price the computer test a little lower (around OMR 99.5–101), so the exact figure depends on your centre. One Skill Retake is offered at select computer-test centres; its fee is not published online, so confirm it — and the live test fee — on the official booking page before paying. IELTS fees are set locally by the British Council and IDP and can change, so the figures above (verified July 2026) are a guide — the only reliable amount is the one shown on the official booking page for your test type on the day you book.
The cheapest test is the one you sit once
Whatever the fee, it buys one attempt — so the smartest money is spent walking in already at your target band. Work out the exact section scores you need, then close the gap before test day rather than paying to sit again. And if you fall half a band short in a single skill on a computer-delivered test, the One Skill Retake is usually far cheaper than a full resit.
