Rabbinate seeks retrial on ruling allowing women to take exams, blames 'halachic noncompliance'

 https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/article-871073

The Chief Rabbinate (of Israel) requested on Monday from the High Court of Justice for a retrial for broader legal consideration on a July judgement by Deputy Chief Justice Noam Sohlberg allowing women to sit Rabbinate exams. 

The Rabbinate's argument rested on what it presented as firm halachic noncompliance with women taking the exams, as certain topics covered therein are prohibited by nature. It also requested a delay in execution - meaning that the instruction to allow women to sit the exams should not come into effect right away, pending further action.

    2. please elucidate on the "way more". i've been doing it for more than 40 years . do the men who are taking the tests also need "way more" ? or are they naturally qualified if they get the "dry marks"
