However, if you previously played Persona 5 and consider that sufficient studying, guess again. Persona 5 Royal overhauls this, giving you a near completely different set of class and exam questions than the original version. Some of them now fit the story better, while all of them still teach you interesting trivia about Japan and the wider world. Additionally, Persona 5 Royal now has segments in which you help our fellow Phantom Thief, Ann when she gets asked a question.

It’s worth taking the time to get these questions right as correct answers increase your Knowledge, an important social stat. This page has a complete list of Persona 5 Royal test answers to help you ace every question thrown your way.
