A second remote computer is capable of real time audio visual capture and display of an image of the user of the second remote computer. A server is in communication with the first remote computer and the second remote computer, and provides an interactive web based scheduling portal accessible from the first remote computer and the second remote computer. A database is associated with the server for storing data regarding the rules for proctoring of an exam including the rate at which an exam may be proctored at a given date and time. The server enables access to a virtual exam room by the first remote computer and the second remote computer in response to a request from the first remote computer through the scheduling portal for a date and time to take an exam administered at the first computer when the requested date and time fulfils the rules stored in the database.
