About 30 minutes of audio plus 10 minutes for transferring answers, the same as test day. Strict mode runs straight through; Breath mode lets you pause and replay.
British, Australian, and North American voices distributed across the four parts. The mix mirrors the way the real IELTS Listening test rotates accents between conversation, monologue, discussion, and lecture.
No. The page above lists the topics and question types so you know what's coming, but the audio, questions, and answer key only appear once you start a saved practice session. The analysis is more useful when you've taken the test cold.
