If you used a '3 or 4' approach to checking if the value of the score is either 3 or 4, then that is just as valid as doing the 'first check if the answer is 5, then check if the answer is equal to or above 3' approach.

You'd need to show the actual code for a precise answer; but in general, the value comparison ">=" does a different job from the logical "or" operator ("||"), so normally one would not be able to replace one with the other without affecting program performance.
