I’ve completed the course and passed the test, but the following exercise has yet to be graded and is preventing me from receiving certification:

Course: HubSpot Marketing Software

Ungraded Exercise: Create a Topic Cluster by Identifying Subtopics for Your Core Topic

Username: [ckennedy@greenbook.org](mailto:ckennedy@greenbook.org)

Thanks,

Colleen

Hi @cfkennedy23,

Thanks for reaching out! I ran your email address in our backend and it looks like the exercise has now been graded, so you should be all set!

Best,

Cristina
