JRPG fans on Nintendo Switch, PS4, and Xbox can experience the classic Persona games, as hot on the heels of Persona 5 Royal Atlus is releasing ports of Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden. Like the other entries, Persona 4 Golden casts you as a not-so-ordinary high school student, this time solving a deadly murder mystery in the sleepy town of Inaba.

While you investigate the murders and a strange “TV world,” you’ll still need to go about your daily life and school activities. Of course, this entails answering a selection of pop quiz questions, along with specific exams. Acing all of these questions can give you a huge boost to your personal stats, so you’ll want to make sure you get everything right if you’re looking to see and do everything in Persona 4 Golden.

While you could certainly try to answer everything on your own, we have a handy guide with ever quiz and exam question, to make things easier. Keep in mind that some of these questions might take the form of a friend, like Yosuke, asking for help.

Without further ado, let’s make you the pride of Yasogami High School.

Stat boosts from answering questions right are hugely useful for seeing all the game’s Social Links.
