You're on the right track! Instead of jumping to the 'values.push' method, how would you store the elements with the class of "required"? You can store those in a variable, then call jQuery's 'each()' method and pass in the function to push the value of each element into the array. Then you can return the array of values.
Hopefully I made that coherent enough! If you're still stuck let me know and I'll post some code.

Hey Charlie!
I know it can be frustrating. If you are having trouble with your knowledge of arrays and their methods, I would suggest taking a look at the JavaScript Foundations/Deep Dive. It goes over arrays and basic methods, among many other things, and is a great way to get the basics of JavaScript down. Give that a try, then when you come back to this it should make much more sense!
Let me know if you have any other questions!

I'm stuck on the same exercise and feeling pretty frustrated. I understand very little about arrays and .push()
I feel it's not very well explained in the videos and the learning gradient is way too steep in my opinion.

Thanks guys.

I just  took the selectet fields (.required),
 put a method on it (each), and in this each-method I push the Value ( $(this).val()) of the field  I selected to the array!
and at the end  return the array.
I hope it was a little bit helpfull.
