About this tool

What the Inkbound Exam Answers page does

Inkbound Exam Answers lists every question the Inkbound Order asks in Where Winds Meet, each with its answer: the Primary Exam's, the True Disciple & Literary Trial's, and the sect's other questions. Look an answer up while you sit the exam, or sit a practice exam first.

How to use it

  1. Type a few words of the question, or of any of its answers: the answers come in a different order each time, so either works.
  2. Narrow the list to one exam or one subject if you like.
  3. Open Practice exam to sit twenty questions drawn the way the exam draws them, with the timer off or on.
  4. Read your score, the examiner's verdict and every answer, then retry the ones you missed.

Questions

How many questions does the Primary Exam ask?
Twenty: five each from Annals, General, Virtue and Math. With the timer on, you have 30 seconds for each question and 400 seconds for the whole exam, as in the game.
What score do I need to pass?
60 of 100. Nine Mortal Ways disciples need 70 to pass the Primary Exam.
What does the Book of Elimination do?
It removes one wrong answer during an exam. In the practice exam it's a button you can press as often as you like.
Why does one question have two right answers?
In the question about the Cowherd and Weaver Girl, both Chopping firewood and Herding cattle are marked right, so either answer counts.
Is my progress saved?
Your best score in each exam and the questions you got wrong are kept in this browser, so you can retry your misses later.
Is it official?
No. Where Guilds Meet is a free, fan-made site, not affiliated with the game's developer or publisher.
