Phonology Comprehensive Examination [PDF]  Examination
This comprehensive examination tests the student over the first five NTGreek lessons.  Because of individual differences that exist between NTGreek students, the rate at which they progressed through these lessons, understanding, and receptivity, will be different from that of others.  However, all students wish to know at some time if they have retained the necessary material necessary to proceed forward and delve further into NTGreek.  This is the purpose of this comprehensive examination. 

I suggest that if you are fearful of taking this examination, first take it as “open book”.  In this instance, you may use any lesson material (except for the study guides) to help in answering the questions.  After a few days, take the examination again “closed book”.  After all, the purpose of studying NTGreek is to learn how to read the Greek New Testament.  SA5:59-85
