All May Exam Answers in Persona 3 Reload

Exams last from May 18th to May 23rd, and you won’t have any free time between them (except for the last day). Your Academics stat will directly influence your results, even if you answer all questions correctly. To get the highest score in your class, you need to have Academics Lvl. 3 or higher.

5/19

  • Q: What is the other common expression used to describe “May sickness”?
  • A: May Blues.

5/20

  • Q: Which of the following did Léon Foucault use in his experiment on the rotation of the Earth?
  • A: A pendulum.

5/21

  • Q: Which of the following is generated by a pantograph?
  • A: Electricity.

5/22

  • Q: During which historical period were middens most commonly used?

May 17th and May 23rd will be automatic answers, and you get some free time after school in the latter. If you have progressed enough into the Emperor Social Link, this is also the day when you can first start the Justice Social Link with Chihiro. Test results will be announced on May 25th.

What Do You Get If You Ace the May Exams in Persona 3 Reload?

Once the results are revealed, you’ll get extra Charm points for scoring well. Mitsuru will also give you a few items as a reward. You can claim these by speaking with her anytime at the school or the dorm. These items are:

  • Power Increase I.
  • Guard Increase I.
  • Magic Increase I.
  • Speed Increase I.
  • Proto-Choker (If you score the highest in your grade).

How to Get Academics Level 3 Fast in Persona 3 Reload

Acing the first exam can be difficult during your first run of the game, but it’s 100% doable as long as you prioritize your Academic stats over the others. Some tips for achieving that are:

  • Staying awake during classes.
  • Going to Wakatsu Kitchen/Game Parade regularly.
  • Studying at the dorm with the SEES members.

Studying by yourself in your room or staying at the Library is always less efficient than eating at Wakatsu or playing an arcade game. The downside is being too expensive for the early game, but this can be remedied by visiting mostly Wakatsu as it’s cheaper.

To get the Wakatsu Seafood Full Course special menu (available on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday nights), you need to have Charm Lvl 3, which is easier to get at this point of the game by using the Hagakure shop right next to it. But again, be mindful of your money.

The game corner features games that increase Academics on Wednesdays and Saturdays. These will cost you 3000 Yen, so only go for them if you have a fat wallet. They’re better than other options, though.

Make sure you don’t miss the group study days in the week before the exams. Not only do these have exclusive scenes unique to Reload, but they also grant a huge Academics bonus, which will certainly help you get to Level 3 in time. This is the hardest stat to level, after all.
