The present invention relates to methods for organising and holding recreational, development and cognitive-type sessions, wherein said methods may be used to increase efficiency when holding a competitive examination by increasing the number of participants, shortening the duration of said examination and improving the reliability and objectivity of marks given according to the participants' results. When holding such an interactive competitive examination, the remote users are connected to the server of a telecommunication network and the user terminals are provided with messages concerning the rules and the beginning of said examination, the users being then registered as participants. All participants simultaneously receive the examination tasks which comprise questions as well as answer variants, one of which at least is correct. All participants are also given the same time interval to select an answer variant. When receiving the messages containing the answer variants selected, the answer variants from each participant are assessed for each task in the examination. A mark is then calculated for each task while each participant who has selected the correct answer is given a number of points proportional to the above-mentioned mark, the latter being preferably determined according to the quantity of correct answers for a given task in the competitive examination.
