In Persona 4 Golden, most of your school days go by quickly, but sometimes your teachers will pause to ask you questions. These surprise quizzes cover various subjects like science, literature, and history. Doing well on them boosts your Social Stats, mainly Knowledge. Helping friends answer questions correctly can also improve your Expression and earn you points toward building your Social Links.
As you increase your Knowledge, you’ll unlock new Social Links, especially with characters like Margaret and Naoto, who require certain Knowledge levels before you can bond with them. Improving Knowledge also allows you to choose special dialogue options and perform better on your midterm exams, which bring several rewards. Here’s a simple guide to all classroom questions and answers in Persona 4 Golden.
Note that teachers tend to ask the same question on the same date, with answers always in the same order. For this guide, all possible answers will be listed; the correct answer is highlighted in bold unless it’s a midterm or final exam, where answers are presented in sequence due to the rapid pace of questions.
