In Persona 4 Golden, Knowledge is actually power. One of the easiest ways to grow this essential stat is correctly answering a series of questions you get in your classroom throughout the story. These come at the start of your mornings at school at certain days throughout the game and you only get one chance to answer correctly.

Getting these answers right will grow your Knowledge stat. As it levels up, you’ll gain opportunities for new part-time jobs, Social Links, and rewards from other characters.

In this guide, we’ll show you answers to all the classroom questions as well as provide you a cheat sheet of answers for your midterms and final exams throughout Persona 4 Golden.

This story was originally published in June 2020. We’re republishing it today for the release of Persona 4 Golden on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation, and Xbox, where it’s available via Xbox Game Pass.
