Persona 3 Reload Classroom and Exam Overview

What are Class and Exams?

Classroom pop quizzes and exams are recurring school activities in the Persona franchise that will present players with questions that require the correct answers.

While it does not have a direct effect to how the story progresses, it is a vital opportunity for you to increase your Social Stats, most prominently your Academics. Increasing these Social Stats will affect your overall gameplay, including your Romance options.

All Romance Options

Classroom Recitations are On the Spot

Much like in real life, quizzes are questions presented by teachers to the Protagonist on the spot during class.

These questions are likely related to the topic being discussed. Answering it correctly will increase your Academics, but can also impress your peers, increasing your Charm as well.

Exams Questions are Consecutive

Exams on the other hand are much more premeditated. You can even check your calendar to see when your tests are due. Exams will go on for three consecutive days or more, and each day will require you to answer several questions in succession.

Most of these questions are related to topics previously discussed and classroom questions previously asked.

Exam Top 1 Rewards

Answering test questions correctly will grant great boons to your Social Stats, especially when you find out that you're at the top of your class by the time exam results are released. In addition to the stat boosts, you also receive a reward from Mitsuru, which is typically a set of incense that you can use to increase the stats of your Persona.

Flunking your exams will either not result in any stat progression or have adverse effects. Either way, you should see these progressions reflect on your Academics and may even affect your Charm as well!
