Short answer: ParrotTalk's IELTS Listening test is free, with no sign-up: four full tests, each with four recorded sections and 40 questions in about 30 minutes, the recording played once on the exam clock, and your raw score, band and per-section breakdown the moment you submit.
About 30 minutes: four sections, 40 questions, and the audio plays once without pause, as in the real test.
