Persona 4 Golden Exam Answers

Every classroom question and exam answer in Persona 4 Golden, from Apr 14 to the February exams, by date, as RPG Site and TheGamer list them. Golden's answers differ from the PS2 Persona 4's, and Persona 4 Revival's have not been published.

Persona 4 Golden asks 51 classroom questions between Apr 14 and Feb 1 and holds five exams (May 9 to 11, Jul 19 to 22, Oct 14 to 19, Nov 28 to Dec 2 and Feb 6 to 9), and every answer is below by date, checked against both RPG Site's answer list and TheGamer's monthly guides. The two agree on every answer but one, Dec 21, where RPG Site says "VII" and TheGamer says "VI". A right answer in class raises Knowledge, and each exam ends with a day graded on Knowledge alone, so a perfect score also needs a high Knowledge rank (Social Stats). These are Golden's questions: RPG Site says the PS2 Persona 4 asks completely different ones. For Persona 4 Revival (Feb 18, 2027), Atlus has not said whether the class questions stay, change or go, so no Revival answers exist yet.

How classroom questions and exams work

8:41 On set school days a teacher calls on the protagonist, or a classmate (Yosuke, Chie or Yukiko) leans over for help. Picking the right answer raises Knowledge a little, per TheGamer, and many exam questions repeat a class question from the weeks before, so the answers below pay twice.

Each exam runs over four or five days of questions and then one more day that you do not play: the game scores it from your Knowledge rank. TheGamer warns that a perfect set of answers still falls short if Knowledge is too low. The guides differ on how high is enough: RPG Site asks for Knowledge 4 for the May, July and October exams and maximum Knowledge (rank 5) for the last two, while TheGamer's June and July guide says July's perfect score needs Knowledge maxed. Study at your desk, read, and answer in class to get there.

Neither guide prints the kanji for Jul 20; both say to pick the top answer. Talk to Dojima after the results on Jul 25 for ¥40,000 for a perfect score or ¥20,000 otherwise, per TheGamer. RPG Site puts the line at the top of the class rather than a perfect score, and adds a Paper Armband from Nanako, three Magic Mirrors from the history teacher and 3 points to every Social Link for first place (2 for the top 10).

Last day	No questions: graded on Knowledge

This is the first exam where RPG Site asks for maximum Knowledge; results come on Dec 8, and the top rank adds points to every Social Link, per RPG Site. TheGamer's guide says the same answers with Knowledge maxed should give a first perfect score.

Sources: TheGamer's November and December answers; RPG Site.

The Dec 21 answer: VI or VII?

Both guides were read again on Nov 3, 2026, and still disagree on the Dec 21 question about which Cleopatra was counted among the three great beauties: RPG Site says "VII" and TheGamer says "VI". History's famous Cleopatra is Cleopatra VII, which fits RPG Site's answer, but no source read here shows the game's own reaction, so treat it as unsettled. It is a classroom question, not an exam question, so a wrong guess costs only a small Knowledge gain; saving before class lets you try both.

Do these answers work in the PS2 Persona 4 or in Persona 4 Revival?

Not in the PS2 game. RPG Site says Golden's school questions and answers are completely different from the original Persona 4's, so its list "won't help" PS2 players, and neither guide read here covers the 2008 questions.

For Persona 4 Revival, Atlus calls the game "a full remake of Persona 4 Golden" and says it keeps the original storyline, per its Japanese site, so the school year and its exam weeks are expected to stay. Atlus has not shown Revival's classroom questions, and a remake may rewrite them, so check this page again after the Feb 18, 2027 launch. See What's New in Persona 4 Revival for what Atlus has confirmed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the answer on 12/21 in Persona 4 Golden? The two main Persona 4 Golden guides disagree: RPG Site says "VII" and TheGamer says "VI" for the Cleopatra question. It is a classroom question, so a wrong answer only costs a small Knowledge gain.

What are the May midterm answers in Persona 4 Golden? Persona 4 Golden's May midterms are Overcompensation and 1 B.C. (5/9), Marriage numbers and Soseki Natsume (5/10), and Pythagoras and Olympus Mons (5/11); 5/12 is graded on Knowledge.

What are Nanako's questions in Persona 4 Golden? On Aug 28 Nanako asks which platypus has poison claws (male), and on Aug 29 whether it rained the day of her art homework ("It stopped raining by then"); both raise Knowledge in Persona 4 Golden.

Why didn't I get a perfect score in Persona 4 Golden? Each Persona 4 Golden exam ends with a day scored only on your Knowledge rank, so right answers are not enough; RPG Site asks for Knowledge 4 for the first three exams and Knowledge 5 for the last two.

What does Dojima give for exams in Persona 4 Golden? In Persona 4 Golden, Dojima pays ¥40,000 for a perfect July score and ¥20,000 otherwise, per TheGamer; RPG Site lists ¥50,000 for the top of the class in October.

Are Persona 4 Golden's exam answers the same as Persona 4's? No. RPG Site says the PS2 Persona 4 asks completely different school questions, so Golden's answers do not carry over.

Will Persona 4 Revival have the same exam answers? Unknown as of Nov 3, 2026: Persona 4 Revival keeps Persona 4 Golden's story, but Atlus has not shown its classroom questions.
