Just wanted to note here that you CAN unlock this without max academics. I just got this on 5/24 when exam results are posted with my academics at level 3 of 6. As long as you answer all four questions correctly, you should get this.

Throughout the year in Persona 3 Portable, every few months you’ll have to sit exams, which can last for an in-game week. These exams usually consist of 5 or 6 days of questions, one per day, and will dictate how well you’ve done in your exams. In order to unlock this achievement you have to come first in your class.

But becoming first isn’t about just getting the correct answers, oh no, you need to raise your character’s Academics as well (see Flawless for how to do that). Considering in order to get all 1000gs.png, you need to max out all Social Links, and Mitsuru’s Social Link requires you to have been ranked #1 in your class to initiate it, you’ll likely get this one naturally in the two playthroughs.

To get 1st in the class in the first exam, you need to have “Above Average” intelligence and get every question correct. For the second you need “Smart.” Third you need “Intelligent” and fourth you need “Genius”. It’s not an exact science, but shoot for those and you’ll be golden. This is worth doing on every test anyway, as Mitsuru’s rewards are pretty valuable.

If you’re struggling or want to blaze through them, use this list of answers as a cheat sheet, if needs be.
Exams take place in the following weeks:
 
  • 18th - 23rd May
  • 14th - 18th July
  • 13th - 17th October
  • 14th - 19th December
