Persona 4 Golden answers: All classroom questions and exam solutions
Even kids with supernatural powers have to get good grades
Getting all the classroom answers right in Persona 4 Golden boosts your stats, makes you popular, and even earns you a fat cash reward if you ace your exams.
You face several midterms and finals during your year in Inaba, with an extra set if you make them right choices and unlock the Golden ending in January and February.
