        new Handler().postDelayed(new Runnable() {

                twice = false;
                Log.d(TAG, "twice:" + twice);
            }
        }, 3000);

    }

    }

I've read everything about the Interstitial Ad in Admob. But, nothing works. Could the banner be the problem?

Is this ever evaluating to true? "else if(score>=51&& score <=70 )" — William, Jan 15 '17 at 21:37

Change interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(this); to
interstitialAd = new InterstitialAd(getContext());

And also check if the adUnitId is correct.

Otherwise everything else seems fine. And, no, Interstitial ad wont be affected by the banner in any form since both are completely different entities and are independent of each other.

try getBaseContext() – Abhriya Roy Jan 15 '17 at 13:25
Yes I check it twice. – Boqn Jan 15 '17 at 13:41
is the if statement getting executed at all? Put in a log statement and check it if you havent already done so. – Abhriya Roy Jan 15 '17 at 14:05
Add the onAdFailedToLoad callback and check the error code to see what is the problem – Michael A Jan 15 '17 at 15:28
