I cannot get my code to give me my correct results. 

var correct = 0;


var answer1 = prompt("What does HTML stand for");
if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'true' ) {
        correct ++;
}
var answer2 = prompt("What does CSS stand for");
if ( answer2.toUpperCase() === 'true' ) {
        correct ++;
}
var answer3 = prompt("What does JS stand for");
if ( answer3.toUpperCase() === 'true' ) {
        correct ++;
}
var answer4 = prompt("What day is it today?");
if ( answer4.toUpperCase() === 'true' ) {
        correct ++;
}
var answer5 = prompt("Am I happy that I am coding?");
    if ( answer5.toUpperCase() === 'true' ) {
        correct ++;
}


document.write("<p>You got " + correct + " many questions correct</p>");


if ( correct === 5 ) {
    document.write("<p>You earned a gold star!</p>");
}   else if ( correct >= 3 ) {
    document.write("<p>You earned a silver star!</p>");
}   else if ( correct >= 1) {
    document.write("<p>You earned a bronze star!</p>");
}   else {
    document.write("<p>You earned no star!</p>");
}

So I reviewed your code and so far there's one problem I can see that's repeated multiple times. For your IF statements, they should equal the correct answer in caps instead of true. I have provided one part for you to look at, I included the old and edited version. Hope this helps you :)

old

            var answer1 = prompt("What does HTML stand for");
            if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'true' ) {
                    correct ++;
            }

New

            var answer1 = prompt("What does HTML stand for");
            if ( answer1.toUpperCase() === 'HYPERTEXT MARKUP LANGUAGE' ) {
                    correct ++;
            }
