[B-Greek] Is it reasonable to desire to read the GNT without looking up any words?

I believe some PhD programs at least used to expect their students to know
the GNT vocabulary, but I don't know that anyone still does. It's a lofty
goal. Here at McMaster, the year I took the Greek requirement, we had to be
able to translate Acts with no helps ('only' 2000 vocabulary words). Many
people keep a reader's lexicon (Kubo) or grammatical analysis, or computer
software handy to help with obscure words.
