Why my code is not working?

var correct = 0;

var string_ques1 = prompt("How many Continents are there in the world?");
var ques2 = prompt("Largest continent in the world?");
var string_ques3 = prompt("How many Oceans are there in the world?");
var ques4 = prompt("What is the capital of Australia?");
var ques5 = prompt("Which is the longest river in the world");

ques1 = parseInt(string_ques1);
ques3 = parseInt(string_ques3);

if (ques1 ==== 7) {
    correct +=1
}
if (ques2.toUpperCase ==== 'ASIA') {
    correct +=1
}
if (ques3 ==== 5) {
    correct +=1
}
if (ques4.toUpperCase ==== 'CANBERRA') {
    correct +=1
}
if (ques5.toUpperCase ==== 'NILE') {
    correct +=1
}

document.write("<p>You got " + correct + " out of 5 questions correct.</p>");


if (correct === 5) {
    document.write("Gold Crown");
} else if (correct >= 3) {
    document.write("Silver Crown");
} else if (correct >= 1) {
    document.write("Bronze Crown");
} else {
    document.write("duh !You are good for nothing.");
}    

What am I doing wrong here?

Or is it necessary to add IF statements when I defined the variables??

"Not working" doesn't tell anyone what behavior you are seeing. What does the code do (or not do)? Are you getting any error messages?

Not that there is no such operator as "====". You might start there.
