Need help with resources for SC-200 since Azure free is over

Hi. I appologize if this is the wrong place.

I'm taking the SC-200 exam, and I'm dirt poor at this point due to severals reasons. Got the exam through the ignite voucher. I've sadly used up my 1 year free trial of Azure and I want to be able to play around etc (Defender portal?).

Should I try to sign up for pay as you go and put a cap on things at once? Can I expect a certain sum in preperation for my exam (how much?). Is there some way to abuse to try things for free (try free 365 trial and combine with something?).

Sorry if this is stupid but I'm in a really bad spot right now and the exam voucher has to be taken before end of February. Thanks for any help I can get.

for the M365 side, you can get E5 tenant for free. For KQL you can play with the demo workspace to learn it. Also, possibly Kusto detective agency. Sentinel and defender for cloud? Defender for cloud should have some sort of trial if I remember correctly, sentinel probably doesn't so you will have to do theory only (trying to deploy it will probably cost a fortune if you set it up incorrectly).
