The exams are only free to those who are on a subscription or students through their school (as long as it is a SolidWorks Academic Certification Provider and on subscription).
If neither of the previous cases applies to you, you'll have to purchase the exams from here:

As for the exams themselves, there are 3 main categories:
Associate > Professional > Expert.
There also is a sub-category which is the Advanced Professional.
