I went through Illinois Realtors:

Did the Home Study for the 75 hours, then a webinar class for the 15 hours, about to take my proctored exams and then onto the state test. They did a pretty good job with everything so far. I have found that not alot of places actually explain the process.. so just so you know.
75 hours of study, then a proctored exam.
15 hours of in-person study (could be a webinar), then another proctored exam.
THEN the state exam.
I am taking both proctored exams in the same day so I don't have to take more time off of work. Wherever you end up deciding to go to with, they should provide you a list of approved locations to take the proctored exams, then you have to call the locations and set it up.
