This is basically identical to the video, but is returning a syntax error at

What is the problem?
WITH FIVE_SCIENCE AS ( SELECT ST.ID FROM CLASSES AS C JOIN SUBJECTS AS S ON S.ID = C.SUBJECT_ID JOIN SCHEDULE AS SC ON SC.CLASS_ID = C.ID JOIN STUDENTS AS ST ON ST.ID = SC.STUDENT_ID WHERE C.PERIOD_ID = 5 AND S.NAME = "Science" ), WITH SEVEN_ART AS ( SELECT ST.ID FROM CLASSES AS C JOIN SUBJECTS AS S ON S.ID = C.SUBJECT_ID JOIN SCHEDULE AS SC ON SC.CLASS_ID = C.ID JOIN STUDENTS AS ST ON ST.ID = SC.STUDENT_ID WHERE C.PERIOD_ID = 7 AND S.NAME = "Art" )

This is correct:
WITH table_1 as (
-- insert query here
),
table_2 as (
-- insert query here
)
SELECT...
This is incorrect:
WITH table_1 as (
-- insert query here
),
WITH table_2 as (

2,831 PointsHi Stuart,
That worked, thanks!
Now I have an issue with my join of of the two tables. It's telling me the FIVE.STUDENT_ID column I'm trying to join doesn't exist.
WITH FIVE_SCIENCE AS ( SELECT ST.ID FROM CLASSES AS C JOIN SUBJECTS AS S ON S.ID = C.SUBJECT_ID JOIN SCHEDULE AS SC ON SC.CLASS_ID = C.ID JOIN STUDENTS AS ST ON ST.ID = SC.STUDENT_ID WHERE C.PERIOD_ID = 5 AND S.NAME = "Science" ), SEVEN_ART AS ( SELECT ST.ID FROM CLASSES AS C JOIN SUBJECTS AS S ON S.ID = C.SUBJECT_ID JOIN SCHEDULE AS SC ON SC.CLASS_ID = C.ID JOIN STUDENTS AS ST ON ST.ID = SC.STUDENT_ID WHERE C.PERIOD_ID = 7 AND S.NAME = "Art" )
SELECT * FROM FIVE_SCIENCE AS FIVE INNER JOIN SEVEN_ART AS SEVEN ON FIVE.STUDENT_ID = SEVEN.STUDENT_ID;
Any thoughts?
