It turns out you can’t be an ATC unless your worst subject is science. It’s the only question which awards points.

I think you misread something, because that's not true.

Insufficient information to say whether this is literally true, but if you don't answer "science" you lose 15 points, which is at least a very serious blow to your chances of passing.

"It's the only answer for that question which provides points*" Is what I meant.

It's the first question that provides points, not the only one.

It clearly states that if you choose anything other than science for that question, you get zero points. It's literally in the quiz and captured in a screen shot. How is this controversial or confusing at all?

Yes. You get 0 points for that one question. There are 27 other questions which you can get points from.
