Something is wrong with Quiz. I got the correct answer, but it kept saying it's wrong.

You've just learned about the next() and prev() methods. Use one of them to traverse from Wade Christensen to James McAvoy in the list of students.

$('li').eq(2).prev().prev();

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h2>Student List</h2>

  <ul class="student-list">
    <li>James McAvoy</li>
    <li>Alena Holligan</li>
    <li>Wade Christensen</li>
    <li>Matt Krzyzynski</li>
  </ul>

  <script src="jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script>
  <script src="app.js"></script>
</body>
</html>
app.js 
$('li').eq(2);
$('li').eq(2).prev().prev();

You should have added onto the first method you wrote Just 

$('li').eq(2).prev().prev();
