You could use Moodle with it's quiz module. I have used it for several classes and set up mock exams to prepare students for external certifications or internal assessment. It offers all the typical question types multiple choice, single answer, multiple answer, fill in missing word, missing number, matching, penalties for wrong answers and you can even create a pool of questions and randomly pull say 20 questions from the bank as an exam prep before going with a final exam with 50-100 questions from the bank. You can restrict users to a certain IP range, date and time to take exams, require a password or key to login to take an exam, randomize questions and answers so students cant peek over their neighbours shoulder and it also support payment methods such as paypal to pay for your course or exam. Any web browser will work with it and the server component uses php, mysql and apache on Linux or Windows. Better than blackboard and all the other commercial offerings and it has a great support community behind it.
