You have to go to a testing center and show two forms of ID before you are allowed to take the test. You are also monitored during the test and cannot bring anything into the room. They even require you to turn in the scratch paper and pencils they give you after the test is over.

People who pass the test. Also there is demand now since Amazon recently mandates AWS certified partners carry certified employees.
