OK i am not sure my issue!

My code previews a "0" for correct answers does matter what i do.

var correct=0; var answer1=prompt('How many players are in the Cleveland Cavaliers?'); if(answer1.toUpperCase() ==='fifteen players'){ correct+=1; } var answer2=prompt('Who is the best player on this team?'); if(answer2.toUpperCase() ==='Lebron James'){ correct+=1; } var answer3=prompt('Who did they beat on October 17th 2017?'); if(answer3.toUpperCase() ==='Boston Celtics'){ correct+=1; } var answer4=prompt('How may pionts did Lebron James score?'); if(answer4.toUpperCase() === 'Twenty nine points'){ correct+=1; }

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

if (correct === 5){ document.write("<p><strong>You earned a Gold Crown.</strong></p>");

}else if(correct >= 3){
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a Silver Crown.</strong></p>");

}else if (correct >= 1){
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a Bronze Crown.</strong></p>");


}else {
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a No Crown.</strong></p>");
}

You're converting the input to upper case, but then comparing it to strings that contain lower case — so it will never match.

But if you store your answers in all upper case you should be able to get a score.

It should look like this one: just change assigned values to uppercase format... hope it helps

 var correct=0; 
var answer1=prompt('How many players are in the Cleveland Cavaliers?'); 
  if(answer1.toUpperCase() ==='FIFTEEN PLAYERS')
  { correct+=1; } 
var answer2=prompt('Who is the best player on this team?'); 
  if(answer2.toUpperCase() ==='LEBRON JAMES')
  { correct+=1; } 
var answer3=prompt('Who did they beat on October 17th 2017?'); 
  if(answer3.toUpperCase() ==='BOSTON CELTICS')
  { correct+=1; } 
var answer4=prompt('How may points did Lebron James score?'); 
  if(answer4.toUpperCase() === 'TWENTY NINE POINTS')
  { correct+=1; }

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

if (correct === 5){
  document.write("<p><strong>You earned a Gold Crown.</strong></p>");
}else if(correct >= 3){
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a Silver Crown.</strong></p>");
}else if (correct >= 1){
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a Bronze Crown.</strong></p>");
}else {
    document.write("<p><strong>You earned a No Crown.</strong></p>");
}
