How to unlock the A Most Studious Disguise achievement in Persona 5 Royal - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires you to do two things. The first, believe it or not, is to max out your Knowledge stat. You can build on this through activities that pop up automatically as you progress through the game, such as questions that pop up in class, where correct answers will reward you points to the Knowledge stat. You can also build on this stat in various activities you can partake while in free time, such as studying in both the school library and in LeBlanc, to name just a few examples. Do this until you finally max out the Knowledge stat at Lv. 5, you should be able to do this by about September.

The next thing of course, is to get every answer correct during a period of exams. These periods will be in a span of three days in the months of May, July, October, and December. Following this strategy of maxing out the Knowledge stat, you should be able to fulfill this prerequisite by the October exam period.

Here are the correct answers that will come up for each respective question that comes in.

May (5/11-5/13)
Minamoto no Yoshitsune
Minamoto no Yoritomo
Yoritomo won
The Weak
Cognition
Both
The Devil's Dictionary
Femme Fatale

July (7/13-7/15)
64 degrees
Zhuge Liang
Barbarians' heads
To offer them instead of heads
Red King Crab (Paralithodes)
It caused confusion in the economy
Raining Cats and Dogs
Demon Guts

October (10/17-10/19)
32 surfaces
It used to be one color
Black and white picture
Charles-Henri Sanson
It's a hereditary profession
Slave labor
3 bees in all of Europe

December (12/20-12/22)
D
Over one billion yen
Having his head displayed
Public performance
Hearts
Attend
Japan
Dreadnought

You'll get the exam results four to five days after your last date for the exam period when you check the results posted on the school bulletin board. If you maxed out your Knowledge stat AND THEN get every correct answer in an entire exam period, Joker will say he's at the top of the class. Your achievement will then pop on screen right then and there. Very likely you can do this at the earliest in the October exam period, if not sooner, if you're willing to forgo other stat building and Confidant Rank upgrading opportunities.

Does anyone know if it's alright to get the questions asked in class wrong so long as you get them correct later on the exams?
I'd rather not look up a guide every single time I'm randomly asked a question xD

edit: Thought I'd just confirm that the questions up to the test didn't matter (although the free knowledge points for being correct is good so get them right anyways).

@FruitofPassion I don't think the outcome of your answers to the questions in class will have any bearing on how the exam questions and the corresponding answers are presented in terms of order in any way, if that's what you're thinking. But you would miss out on points to the Knowledge social stat, and you need to hit level 5 on that stat because otherwise you won't unlock the achievement just from getting all correct answers for a single set of exams which was the impression I had when I took the May set of exams.

@FruitofPassion As long as you connect to the thieve's guild or whatever when you boot up the game, then when you get asked a question in class just press select and it will bring up what other people picked for that question. The correct answer always has the most votes (usually at least 90%). Don't need to look up a guide and risk any spoilers for those

Vant Decuplare points out you need to max your knowledge to unlock this, if you struggle to max out knowledge, this should help

  • The first exam week starts on the 11th of May.
  • Every time you answer correct you get a sparkle and a little ting so you know you if you mess up an answer
I used this handy guide from polygon to answer them.

Exam Schedule
  • First set 11th of May, results a few days later
  • Final exams start on the 13th of July, results come out on the 19th of July
  • Fall exams start on the 17th of October
  • Winter exams start on the 20th of December

So the exams are spread out over a two-month period from May to July? And you have to have knowledge maxed before you get the achievement? Is this only possible in NG+ then?

From what I’ve heard (haven’t started this yet) there’s 4 exams in the game, the last being in December, so you should have enough time to max out Knowledge.

Thanks @ChiflaGoodluck, I didn't realize that there were four sets. Hopefully that's enough time indeed!

You should edit this to list all the different exam times. There are various ones, not just the one ending in July.

Just to clarify, you only need to be top of the class in one of these exams.
If you don't focus on maxing out the knowledge stat early on, you will likely get it during the Fall exams in October. By that point I maxed out every social stat.

Anyone waiting for the Speed Reader to become available in the library, you can get it after July 1st.

Following up on the above--after taking the exams in October, I unlocked this achievement in-game on Monday 10/24 when the exams were posted. I had maxed every social stat by then, similar to Gerbasgamer.

The exact requirements for getting the highest exam scores are:

Exam 1: Knowledge rank 4 or max
Exams 2 and 3: Knowledge rank max
Exam 4: Knowledge rank max and every answer correct

*MISSABLE*

This achievement requires that you correctly answer every exam question on the following dates: May 11-14, July 13-16, October 17-20, December 20-23. You will also need to max out your Knowledge social stat by completing various activities inside and outside of school during free time. The path maxing out your Knowledge stat, as well as all the answers to the exam questions, are once again outlined in the walkthroughs provided in the Road Map.

Note: You can actually get this after the October exams if you answer every question correctly.

*MISSABLE* 

In order to earn this trophy, you'll need to place first place in the school's exams. There are four exams given throughout the school year in Persona 5 Royal, done in May, July, October, and December. During class on these days, you will need to complete the exams, and you don't get any free time over these days.

Getting the top score in exams is based on two factors. The first is responding correctly to each exam question. Getting one wrong will stop you from getting the top score. The second factor is your Knowledge social stat. In order to get the maximum score, your Knowledge needs to be the maximum of rank 5: Erudite.

Because of the Knowledge requirements, it is very likely you'll get this trophy in the December exam, possibly October if you've been focusing on Knowledge specifically. For opportunities to increase the knowledge stat, see Pure Perfection.

The trophy will unlock when you get the results of the exam. Usually this is several days, up to over a week after the exam actually takes place. The protagonist will walk in front of the exam results board during a cutscene. Morgana will remark on the protagonist's skills and the trophy will unlock here.
