Just wondering if there is anything I can do up to this point in the learning to make this code more efficient? Any advice would be helpful.

Hey we have the same name :D

As for your code, those else statement arent really doing anything, and can be removed. I would also avoid using document.write but instead put those strings into variables then use the innerHtml property to insert it into your html. So you can add another div element inside your container, give it the id of output. Then you can do...

var ouput = document.getElementById('output');
var outHtml = "";

if (rank > 0 && rank < 2) {
  outHtml =  "<p>Cool! You've earned the bronze crown</p>";
} else if ( rank > 2 && rank <= 4) {
 outHtml = "<p>Awesome! You've earned the silver crown</p>";
} else if ( rank === 5) {
  outHtml = "<p> Phenominal! You've earned the gold crown<p/>";
}

var message = '<p>You answered ' + score + ' out of 5 questions correctly! </p>';
output.innerHTML = outHtml + message;
