While most of the social stats in Persona 4 Golden are focused on unlocking additional ranks of your Social Links, Knowledge is even more important because it will determine how you do during exams. Exams will happen periodically throughout the game and are easy ways to get closer to your classmates and get powerful accessories.
Knowledge is arguably the most important social stat because of exams, and there are a few ways to increase it. Here are the various things you can do during your free time to help you rank up your Knowledge before exams start.

Persona 4 Golden is a world full of opportunity when it comes to the social links the character can make the game. But which are worth pursuing?
How To Rank Up Knowledge In Persona 4 Golden
Study
You can study during the day in the Library or in your room at night. The Library is found on the far side of the second floor of the school opposite to your classroom, along the back left side of the hallway. Whenever you’re home, you can study by interacting with your desk in the bottom left corner of your room. No matter where you are studying, if it is raining you will get a bonus and get more knowledge for studying.
You can also read the Expert Study Methods book to get more knowledge every time you study.
Getting Questions Right In Class
Various days in class will have you be called on to answer a question. Getting the answer correct will give you a point in Knowledge. It’s highly recommended you look up a guide on these answers as they are free Knowledge points that don’t take up any time and quickly add up.
Eat At Aiya
When it’s raining Chinese Diner Aiya offers the Mega Beef Bowl Challenge for 3,000 Yen. Attempting this challenge and failing gives you one point in three random social stats, one of which is Knowledge, and possibly courage. This is a good way to rank up all your stats randomly, but Knowledge won’t always be given.
Read Books
You can buy books at Yomenaido Bookstore in the Central Shopping District, with more being sold as you progress through the story. These books can be read at home, if you’re not spending time with Dojima, by interacting with the couch in your room, with one chapter being read a night. Each chapter read will give points in Knowledge until you finish the book. The following books give Knowledge:
- The Ramen Way
- The Gentle Way
- The Divine Way
- Guide To Pests
- Who Am I?
Reading Hyperspeed Reading lets you read two chapters in one sitting.
