- How School Questions, Tests & Exams work
Persona 5 Royal Answers: all school quiz questions, exams and tests listed
The way this works is simple. As you work through P5R's story, you'll occasionally be asked questions in school at 'random' by the teacher - though in the game, these aren't random but are set events on certain dats. In addition to this, at some points you'll have to sit exams, which feature a mix of all-new questions and flashbacks to early class questions. Knowing the complete set of Persona 5 Royal answers will make your life much easier.
As well as random school questions asked in the classroom during regular lessons, a few times a year - so a few times during Persona 5 Royal - you'll have to take midterm exams and finals exams. Doing well in exams carries some great bonuses - so we've got the exam answers for you, too.
Getting questions right will raise your Knowledge stat, and certain questions will also raise other stats that are all-important for maxing out your relationships. This is a big deal in Persona 5 Royal in particular as some of those confidant storylines are now required to get the true ending of Persona 5 Royal. Doing well in exams significantly speeds up how quickly you can level these relationships up.
Knowledge isn’t just power, but raises your popularity. Your knowledge stat also governs how well you do in the exams that you don’t have direct control over. If you want to boost it more - which may be required for exams - you can do so using our guide on how to raise Knowledge quickly, as well as the other social stats.
As an important note, Persona 5 Royal has completely different school questions and school answers - if you want the answers for vanilla Persona 5. We've also got a page on all the Persona 5 Royal Crossword answers, if you also want help there. Otherwise, here’s all the P5R school quiz and exam questions and answers:
