Hi Chidubem Nwachinemere you are close, I think you misunderstood the challenge. You just need to add the scope attribute to the two mentioned newly changed table headers "Name" and "Job" to col, you have row however, and you have also instead added the correct scope attribute to the other table row table data elements, which is not correct:

    <table>
      <tr>
        <th scope="col">Name</td>
        <th scope="col">Job</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Nick</td>
        <td>Designer</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Andrew</td>
        <td>Developer</td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Dave</td>
        <td>Developer</td>
      </tr>
    </table>
