SQL Server is a pretty broad topic. The Microsoft tutorials are a good place to start.

Microsoft has examples using the AdventureWorks database for all of their topics. You will have to figure out what topics you need help with. The topic of sql server is just simply to broad. There are volumes of books written about dozens of aspects of sql server. Dig through bol to the topics of interest and work through the examples.

If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
