Well documented. I just cleared the exam this morning. Free 200 practice questions that you mentioned is pretty outdated for todays syllabus :(. Additionally I also did practice tests from Skillcertpro (skillcertpro.com/product/microsoft...). which helped passing with 940. Skillcertpro exam questions are so close to main exam, as I got nearly 80% from their sets. Make sure read the explanations and you're good to go...
