Getting the classroom and exam answers right in Persona 3 is a handy way to boost your charm and get a few other nice bonuses in Atlus’ RPG.

However, the questions aren’t exactly common knowledge so we’ve put together this guide with all the Persona 3 answers.

If you want to ace every exam though, you’ll have to replay the game at least once on New Game+ when your stats carry over. Unlike other Persona games, Persona 3 gates the top marks behind a high knowledge stat.

Now you don't need a Vita to play the best Persona games!
