I sent my assignment with “tests passed” in every exercise and got a 0.  
Does anybody have the same problem?

Hello @westan & @Janiromi sorry for that! Is your issue now solved?  
Try adding `#grade-up-to-here` in the last cell of the notebook before grading. Thank you

This means there is something wrong in your notebook, and it is making the grader crash.

The grader uses different tests than those in the notebook. Passing the tests in the notebook does not mean your code is perfect.

Check your code carefully, and verify that you are not using any global variables. It seems that the variable “response” is causing a problem.

If you’re getting grading errors or 0%, try this — it worked for me.

Go to the lab, click on **Lab**  **Help** , and select **Get Latest Version**. This will give you a fresh notebook. Then, copy your answers and paste them only inside the **“START CODE HERE”** and **“END CODE HERE”** sections. Don’t change anything outside those parts.

After that, run all the cells and submit directly from the lab (don’t upload the notebook).

This fixed the issue for me 👍
