Persona 5 Royal Classroom Answers Guide: Become the Top Student at Shujin Academy

Shujin Academy is the educational home for Joker and most of the Phantom Thieves in Persona 5 and its expanded version, Royal. Not only are some of the main characters and villains at this school, but you’ll actually have to attend classes on a daily basis. That is what I aim to cover today in this Persona 5 Royal classroom answers guide.

In between saving the world via the Metaverse, you’ll have to go through the usual high school rigamarole. This involves attending class, answering your teacher’s questions, and even taking exams to keep in school.

Throughout the months of the in-game calendar, you’ll randomly have questions you’ll need to answer from your teacher. Take it from my three times playing this game: you’ll want to get them right, which is why you need this Persona 5 Royal classroom answers guide.

Bottom Line Up Front

Persona 5 Royal doesn’t change up too much in the classroom from its original version. Many of the same questions are used throughout the months. The critical difference is that you now have questions to answer throughout the month of January in the expanded content and third semester. As such, regular Persona 5 players can use this, too. For April through January, here are all the test and classroom answers you’ll need for Persona 5 Royal.

Persona 5 Royal Classroom Overview

Persona 5 Royal doesn’t change a whole lot from the previous version of the game. You still play as Joker and must go to class every day in the calendar with few exceptions. Yes, even heroes who save the world must go to class and get an education for the future.

There are a few purposes behind this feature in this already massive JRPG, not least of which is the realism it obtains. There is something fun and even trivial about going to class in the game and reliving your own high school days if you are an adult like me.

It’s a fascinating aspect of Persona 5 Royal that likely makes it the most realistic high school sim-style game I’ve ever played. Well, when you aren’t in the Metaverse, at least. Better yet, if you want a glimpse of what high school life is like in Japan, this is a game you should check out. Without further ado, though, here’s everything you need to know about the classroom section of Persona 5 Royal.

Why You Should Care About Classroom Answers

For starters, there are in-game benefits for completing the classroom answers in Persona 5 Royal. The main one is upping the social stats that you have for Joker. The game has five main social stats, with Knowledge being the most important for your school life.

That said, there are some others, like Charm, that can be affected by the classroom answers. Getting the correct answer will show off your Knowledge to the class and generally raise it in the process. But there are times when you might help out a struggling student with the answer and receive some Charm points in the process.

For these social stat boosts alone, you should aim to get every answer correct in the classroom. There is no reason to get them wrong, especially since this isn’t an optional activity. You can’t honestly avoid these classroom questions since they are part of your requirement of going to school every day.

Knowledge Stat Explained

The Knowledge stat is one of Joker’s five primary social stats in Persona 5 Royal. If you’ve played some of the other Persona games, you likely already know what this is used for. However, the real reason you want to get the test answers right is to boost this for its other purposes.

The Knowledge stat isn’t just for show. It is used in some of the Confidants you can hang out with in Royal. If you want to deepen your bond and romance certain characters in the game, you’ll need your Knowledge stat to be fully maxed out.

In addition, there is a distinct difference between the regular classroom answers and the test ones. If you nail your exams with a high Knowledge stat and the right answers, you’ll be at the top of your class. You can even become the number one student in your grade, granting you a special item from Sojiro and raising your Charm stat due to your popularity.

All Persona 5 Royal Classroom Answers

As mentioned, you’ll get two main types of questions in Persona 5 Royal. The first is the standard classroom questions, where one of your teachers will ask you a question on the spot. The other is the exams, which are test weeks that run for several days in a row.

They will generally involve recycled questions from the regular days, so you should know the answer if you pay attention. The exam questions are mostly self-answered like the standard questions, but they also are automated on the final day based on your current Knowledge stat.

I have all of the Persona 5 Royal classroom answers for you below to check out. They are divided up by the month of the in-game calendar year for you, too, so you can quickly locate the ones you currently need, with August being the only month in the cycle that you don’t have any questions due to summer break and the school trip that happens then.

I even note the date of the question and answer so that you are able to easily sort through this mess and find what you’re looking for. Let’s take a look. Keep in mind that some of the questions have been edited and changed for organizational purposes, so they may differ some from the in-game versions.

All April Classroom Answers

April is the first month of the school year when you begin playing as Joker. April is also when most schools start the school year in Japan. Though this is a shorter month than some others due to the beginning of the game and the tutorial section, a few questions are given to Joker in the classroom.

April 12

Question: What does the dictionary from the Devil give as the answer for the Hider Factor when it comes to how mankind is progressing?

Answer: Villains

April 19

Side note: This is a bit of a confusing one as you have an image of a triangle-like figure with two lines marked A and another B. It shouldn’t affect your answer too much, though.

Question: You have these two lines that are marked as A and B. When it comes to these lines, which of the two seems to have the most length?

Answer: Neither of the lines is the longer one

April 23

Question: What did Emperor Nero dominate during the Olympics in history? Was it music, racing between chariot vehicles, or acting?

Answer: All of the above

April 25

Side note: This is the first time in the game that one of your classmates — Ann, in this case — asks you for help with a question. There are three possible solutions here, but only one of them is the correct answer. The catch here is that this is also the first time you get a question with two parts to it. You’ll need to get both parts right for the full stat boost and correct answer here.

Ann’s Question: What’s that phrase meant to convey? “My country, right or wrong?”

First Answer: Select that you unquestionably support it

Second Answer: Then tell Ann the answer “you have a duty to correct it.”

April 27

Question: Do you know the name of the theorem named after the particular number that is shown in this image?

Answer: Four-color theorem

April 30

Side note: Take note that the final answer of April is almost like a mini-exam in its own right. There are questions and answers you need to get all correct on this day that is, technically, part of the same problem. If you get all of them right, you’ll get the most Knowledge boost, which is worth it.

Question 1: First off, we have the “wunder” section of the word. What does this part mean?

Answer 1: Wonder

Question 2: After that, we have the “kind” section. What could this mean?

Answer 2: Child

Question 3: With all of those answers now in mind, let’s put it all together. In the end, what does wunderkind mean in practice?

Answer 3: A prodigy
