On to CA History

Civics was easy (having already studied it last week as part of US History), so I moved on to California History.  I was a little worried that the teacher edition study book that I had borrowed last week was only one book of three in the collection.  I hadn’t seen the material in books 2 & 3, which is everything past the Gold Rush of 1849.  My wife assured me though that she never taught California History past the Gold Rush.  So why then are there books 2 & 3?  What I now had available, since I had returned the teacher book, were the Cliffs notes from the CSET booklet.  I studied those, and wouldn’t you know it, there is precious little after the Gold Rush.  Anything beyond 1850 that had to deal with California was also adequately covered in US History.  With this revelation, I took the practice test… and got a perfect score.  Gee, I guess I don’t need to study California history any more.  Since I also did well on the Civics and Economics practice tests, I should pass this third of my required test subjects next week (World History/Geography and US History/Geography being the other two areas).
