From what a few people have said - take the question in context of an 11+ exam I have the following thoughts on that:

Yes it is an 11+ exam.
In the sciences, they teach you about things that you need to know for your level. This is very apparent at GCSE/A level in the sciences.

Generally speaking, as long as the answer you provide is correct (I.e if your answer isn't on the syllabus, but is correct as you have gone into more detail or further, you will still be awarded the marks)

They will never set a question, where the answer is completely wrong.

The answer to the question above can never be 5. They would not teach children that the answer should be 5.

Either, operator precedence should be taken off the syllabus and not tested, or it should be tought properly.
