Persona 3 Portable is half a dungeon crawler, and half a high school simulator, and with school comes questions and exams. Most of these are pretty challenging, but if you get them correct you will be rewarded with +2 Charm for your efforts. Charm is needed for a number of social links including President Tanaka and Akihiko Sanada, and this is a good way to rank up without spending time.
