The correct JavaScript expression that represents the situation in which the score is equal to 5 or to 6 is:

```javascript
score == 5 || score == 6
```

This uses the logical OR operator (`||`) to check if `score` is either 5 or 6.

The other options are incorrect for the following reasons:

- `score == 5 or score == 6`: `or` is not a valid logical operator in JavaScript; the correct operator is `||`.
- `score == (5 or 6)`: This expression does not work as intended because `5 or 6` will always evaluate to `5` (due to how the `or` operator works in languages that support it, but not in JavaScript).
- `score == 5 && score == 6`: This checks if `score` is both 5 and 6 at the same time, which is not possible, so it will always return `false`.
