The comprehensive examination tests over the first five lessons. Many wish to know if they have retained the necessary information that is necessary to proceed forward and delve
further into New Testament Greek. This is the purpose for this comprehensive examination. 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 as “closed book.” After all,
the purpose of studying New Testament Greek is to learn how to read the Greek New Testament. An answer key is provided at the conclusion of the examination. SA 5:55-80
