The British Council publishes a full free Listening practice test online, split across four web pages, with the question paper and blank answer sheet available to download and the answers published so you can check your work. The official IELTS site also offers official sample test questions and answers. Both are free, both come from the organisations behind the test, and neither requires an account. Use one set for a timed run, then keep the second set for a repeat attempt a week later, when your memory of the questions has faded.

Two details are worth checking before you start. The practice test should let you play the audio once, and the answer key should show the form expected on the answer sheet, for example a numeral rather than the word. If a page lets you replay the audio as often as you like, use its questions for vocabulary practice and find a timed set for listening.
