Why did you put the 

const student = new Student(3.9);

statement inside the Class definition (it wasn't in the original challenge)?

Hi Abson! Put outside const student from the class Student. const student the last thing in your code not the curly bracket. Like this:

class Student {
    constructor(gpa){
        this.gpa = gpa;
    }
  stringGPA(){}
}

const student = new Student(3.9);

class Student { constructor(gpa){ this.gpa = gpa; }

stringGPA() {

  return this.gpa.toString();

}

}

const student = new Student(3.9)

For whatever reason, your closing brace for the class is after the student constant declaration.

Move it like so:

class Student {
    /** Your class content here **/
} // <- ending bracket

const student = new Student(3.9)
