In Persona 5 Royal, you may be a suave Phantom Thief, but you’re also a high school student. Getting good grades may not seem as important as saving the world, but answering questions correctly and doing well on your exams can reward you with stat boosts, items, and cash.

Reasons to Be a Teacher’s Pet in Persona 5 Royal

During your playthrough of Persona 5 Royal, you’ll be able to level up five Social Stats. These are Knowledge, Guts, Charm, Kindness, and Proficiency. Each Stat has five Ranks, which you can see below.

Stat	Rank 1	Rank 2	Rank 3	Rank 4	MAX Rank
Knowledge	Oblivious	Learned	Scholarly	Encyclopedic	Erudite
Guts	Milquetoast	Bold	Staunch	Dauntless	Lionhearted
Proficiency	Bumbling	Decent	Skilled	Masterful	Transcendent
Kindness	Inoffensive	Considerate	Empathetic	Selfless	Angelic
Charm	Existent	Head-turning	Suave	Charismatic	Debonair

As the leader of the Phantom Thieves, it doesn’t hurt to be a well-rounded student. Whether you’re being called on in class or taking an exam, answering the game’s general knowledge questions correctly is an easy way to raise your Knowledge stat.

On certain days, Ann will beg you for help after being called on in class. Answering these questions correctly will grant an additional boost to your Charm stat.

Certain Confidants will require you to have reached a specific Rank in your Social Stats to progress. Having high Knowledge is vital for your relationships with Goro Akechi, Makoto Niijima, and Hifumi Togo.

Other ways to boost your Knowledge stat include doing Crossword Puzzles at Leblanc or playing shogi with Hifumi. You can also study at Leblanc or at the school library. During exam season, some of your friends may also reach out for a study session or two.

Each time you answer a question correctly in class, you’ll receive some Knowledge points. Certain questions will show up on exams in May, July, October, and December. To ace your exams, you must get every question correct and have a high enough Knowledge Rank.

Doing well on your exams will also prompt Sojiro to give you some rewards. Be sure to chat with him after getting your results to snag your accessories!

Exam Month	Accessory Reward	Skill
May	Tough Belt	Defense Master (Automatically raises the user's defense at the start of battle.)
July	Dandy Mirror	Counterstrike (Automatically grants the user a medium chance of being defended from a physical attack and reflecting it back at the attacker.)
October	Leblanc Charm	Null Sleep (Automatically prevents the user from being inflicted with the Sleep ailment.)
December	Boss Undies	Endure (Automatically prevents the user from dying by securing 1 HP.)

Placing first on an exam will also net you the achievement or trophy “A Most Studious Disguise.”
