by RPG Site Staff on 09 November, 2020

Yakuza: Like a Dragon takes a hard turn from the rest of the beloved action-adventure series, turning it into a full-blown RPG. Its influences are obvious - chiefly Persona and Dragon Quest - and just like going to school in Persona, Like a Dragon has an education for protagonist Ichiban at the Ounabara Vocational School.

This optional mini-game location offers exams for Ichiban to take. Each school quiz you undertake will present you with a bunch of questions - and if you get enough right, you’ll unlock increases for Ichi’s personality stats of Passion, Confidence, Charisma, Kindness, Intellect, and Style. This page features all exam answers for every single test question at the school, helping you to ace every quiz.

Yakuza Like a Dragon Exam Answers: every test question & answer listed

Before we get into the test questions & answers, let’s just talk a little bit about how the Ounabara Vocational School works. The first time you approach the school on Breakwater Drive near East Jinnai Station, it’ll be marked with a side quest icon that’ll kick off a cutscene introducing the school.

Every exam has an associated cost. Pass or fail, that money is spent: so failing lots of times can be costly, which is where this guide comes in. Test costs vary from 20,000 Yen all the way up to 100,000 Yen. Completing any 10 Vocational School exams will get you the ‘Certified Genius’ achievement or trophy.

Every test but one requires you to get at least three of the five questions correct in order to pass. There's a catch - Questions are picked at random within each test topic from a pool of ten - so while you’ll see ten questions and answers for each exam listed below, you’ll only see a random five of them any time you take a test. You only have 30 seconds to answer each question, so you’ll need to scan our list fast.
