The final batch of exams in Persona 3 Reload happens during the second half of December when few things are left to complete in the game. They’re all way more interesting than listening to an old man’s random babbling about magic, but you can’t neglect your studies just yet.

Exams last from December 14 to December 19th, with the last day being automatic. Correctly answering all questions will give you extra rewards once the results are out. Just like in the previous exams, you need to have Academics Level 6 (Genius) to ace the exams.

What Do You Get If You Ace the December Finals in Persona 3 Reload?
Just like in previous exams, you get an enhanced boost in your Charm points if you correctly answer all exam questions. But at this point of the game, you probably have finished building up your Charm and Academics, so getting the best grade shouldn’t be a challenge.
As always, Mitsuru will gift you some useful items if you speak with her at the dorm or the school later.
- 4 Master Incense.
- 1 Phoenix Charm (if you scored highest in your grade)
How to Get Academics Level 6 Fast in Persona 3 Reload
By now, you probably have already maxed out your Academics (and all of your other social stats). Getting the best results is merely a matter of answering the questions correctly and loading back your save in case you missed one or two. But the old tricks will still work if you haven’t finished it yet:
- Staying awake during classes.
- Going to Wakatsu Kitchen/Game Parade regularly.
- Offering money at the shrine.
- Studying at the dorm with the SEES members.
Offering money and studying with other members at night are the best ways to give you more Academics points fast. While they all consume some time (and the best results for the Shrine require tossing out 10.000 Yen), these will certainly give you the few extra points required to finally max it out.
But many late-game interactions grant you many free points if you still need them. Notably, Elizabeth Request 75 (Bring me a Sengoku-era helm) gives you tons of free Academic points for seven days straight without advancing your free time by visiting the Faculty Office, so if you need some points in advance, this is the place to go.
