yehudayona: Of course you need to put in effort, but the TASC would be much simpler than getting a diploma from a bais yaakov. In fact, I know someone that doesn’t have a strong background in English and took the TASC without much preparation. She passed three sections and almost passed two. She is smart, but went to chassidish schools and didn’t really learn English there.
Anyway, I think OP mentioned she is from Lakewood.
