You're on the right track, but there are a few issues.
- The challenge is looking for and
else ifclause, but you are using only anelseclause. - There cannot be a semicolon after the conditional in the
else if. - There is an opening curly brace at the end of the
else ifinstead of a closing curly brace.
Just fix up those 3 things and the code will pass.
Good work. :)

Treehouse Moderator 48,709 PointsYou need an if after else; no semi-colon after the conditional checking if isStudent; just use isStudent without a comparison operator (isStudent is already a boolean value); and your last curly brace should be reversed.
