This has proved to be an affordable, but extremely valuable study tool for Greek Grammar class. It has most everything important that's needed for quick reference. There are a few things that I would have liked to have seen on it also, but overall I was very pleased with this study tool.

This is a wonderful way to quickly recall important ponts about New Testament Greek without feeling like you are cheating. It is a great reference guide that is pre-punched and fits easily into a notebook for easy and quick reference.

This is a helpful, portable chart, more appealing & clearer to read than the Quickstudy Guide Latin chart, its opposite number. It matches the Mounce grammar books, but a much better book to learn N.T. Greek as well as an intro to Attic is:
"The Elements of New Testament Greek, Third Edition" (Book and Audio CD) by Jeremy Duff. This however does not have a companion chart, hence the need for this chart. So you might as well get it.

As a newbie to Greek, I had written dozens of little notecards with lots of hints and helps which were strewn all over my work surface. Once I got this study guide, I was able to file all of them. What a tremendous help! Thank you, Dr. Mounce!

I have found this little cheat sheet very helpful. As one reviewer mentioned, its not a must have, but it is certainly nice to have. Wile learning another language, it is nice to have a quick reference guide readily available instead of thumbing through your textbook. If you are just learning Greek, you could certainly live without this chart, but its cheep and personally has helped me.

It is a handy tool for reviewing, but you don't have to buy it. As he/she make progress through the first year of Greek class, one can make his own review or cheat sheets, more through than this one, focusing on the issues he/she need to learn better. Not to mention the reviewing and the systematizing work itself that can provide a great help in order to organize the Greek grammar knowledge in one's mind (using different colors and highlights, tips and tricks, and so on).

You can spend your money more wisely by buying Mounce's BBG vocabulary cards, which are really helpful (unless you decide to make your own cards...)

The tool is very useful in helping me remember and review my tenses. This will be particularly useful for visual learners because the endings and augments are color coded. I labored to try to create my own cheat sheet but this was way better and saved me lots of time.

That being said, when I had this shipped to me, it was not included with any stiff cardboard or anything keeping it flat, so it arrived with a few crinkles. The study aid is great, but the creases don't allow it to lay flat and is generally annoying for the OCD type.

when i first bought this it was PRE Greek 1. It was a jumble of senseless tables. By the time I finished Greek 2 i could whip out this chart prior to a quiz and use it to review for just about everything we'd studied. Great resource.

This is an invaluable aid that should be at the front of every Greek student's binder. My Greek professor would periodically borrow mine when we would come across an unusual participle form in second-year Greek. You certainly won't learn Greek from this, but it will give you all you need to remember what you've learned when parsing.

I gave 5 stars to the laminated cheat sheet published for Daniel Wallace's Greek Grammar Beyond the Basics, but only 4 stars to this one. My reason is simply that while this cheat-sheet is a very helpful reference tool, it is not quite as usable as the Wallace version. It is very busy, with a lot of information crammed in to a relatively small space. The Principle Parts of Common Verbs section is particularly cumbersome, lacking any kind of grid lines or markers.

Still, I will definitely be keeping this reference handy to avoid having to constantly thumb through the full textbook whenever I encounter a form that I don't recognize. Despite its mostly superficial flaws I would still recommend it to anyone learning to use the Koine Greek they learned in Basics of Biblical Greek.
