Your calculations are correct.

For this ballot, candidate A would get 5 up-arrows. Or a score of 5 if 
each up-arrow is regarded as a point toward a score.

If this voter just marked:

A>B

... that would still be a score of 5 for A because un-marked rankings 
are virtually marked at the oval for the lowest ranking.  (Here in 
Oregon everyone votes by mail.)

And of course the A>B ballot gives B a score of 4 because the other four 
candidates are ranked lower than B.
