I need to take the SBS 70-282 exam and my boss is pressuring me to get it done now. I have been all over the internet and looked at the following options:

Exams
Examforce 99.95
Pass-guarentee 59.95
Measure up – Who knows
Transcender 69.95
Visual Cert Exam 79.95

Books
Microsoft Small Business Server 2003 Unleashed (Paperback)

Training Centers
Horizons training center $1,295.00 Bucks not including exam cost.
Microsoft Leaning $223.99 plus exam cost.

All of these claim to be the “BEST” at what they do or impart to the enduser and guarantee you will pass (in most cases not everyone) on your first try. They all talk about how great they are, however, when I checked for complaints and unhappy customers the internet was replete with them. Internet reviews are not much help and often go agaisnt each other leaving me even more confused

Exam centers do not even respond to calls about what the exam is like as if you have commited a crime by asking them.

I understand that everyone has to take care of their own financial interests but is their someone out their who can guide me simply out of the kindness of their heart? Am I just a fool?

I need a step by setup outline (1 + 1 = 2) I can follow from someone who has actually prepared for and passed the 70-282 within the last 4 months to prepare for the SBS 70-282 (SBS 2003 Server) exam and not conjecture or self-promotion. Not from someone who already knew SBS or used it for years before taking the 70-282 exam, I need someone who did not know SBS and was starting from zero just like me.

I don't have the luxury of reading 18 (700 page) books on SBS nor the financial resources.

When I told my boss how much pressure he was putting on me he responded with, “Ya but think about how much pressure you would be under if you lost your job.” I have a friend who has been out of work for 3 years and would kill just to have my job even with my jerk off boss.

I have built 3 computers and set up ONE WIN 2003 web server but I have never worked with SBS 2003 on any level. I also have to pay for all this myself because he will not. He is for lack of a better term “A piece of work.”

Whoever guides me down the right path will get glowing positive reviews and I will relate my story on every blog site I can find on the internet because I literally have a gun to head.

My A hole boss would love for me to fail the 70-282 SBS (2003 exam) so he can fire me and hire his dumb brother-in-law (his hunting buddy moron) to take my job.

My situation is not a lab-simulation it is real hard core reality and I need help from someone who understands how serious my situation is and wants to earn their angel wings by helping me (it’s a wonderful life movie).

Whoever shows me the way unselfishly will also get a box of chocolates ever year until 2015 as my sincere way of showing my gratitude.

I want to rub the 70-282 certificate in my bosses face every morning when he walks into my office each day to complain about yet another matter he caused by missing with stuff he does not understand and never will.

I am going to hang the certificate right where he can’t help but see it everyday. Don't feel sorry for him as he has no soul and it is dangerous to look into his eyes for more than a few seconds.

He brags about all the kids (the good old days) with glasses (four eyes as he calls them) that he use to beat up on the playground as a kid.

He is on his fourth marriage and kicks the nice lab (very sweet) dog he has at least once a day to make someone or something pay for his sorry life. He is six six and 300 lbs.

Thanks.

I'll check back here as soon as I can for responses. I need and angel.
