When I started NT Greek, Wenham was the text used in our class.
While there a number of good features about this book, for another view of
the exercises can I quote from an assesement by Prof. Morrison. posted to
the Greek/Latin section of the Foreign Languages forum on CompuServe:

" Wenham, J.W.: THE ELEMENTS OF NEW TESTAMENT GREEK
(Cambridge University Press, 1965), 268 pages. Based on the
earlier work of H.P.V. Nunn. Uses Nom./Acc./Gen./Dat. order of

cases; omits nearly all accents. The pace is leisurely.
Explanations are generally complete and correct. Exercises are

mostly invented and artificial, and some are nearly
incomprehensible. "
