The applied social support score is the sum of the raw scores for each of the three items. In the Eurobarometer, the sum-score of the  Oslo-3 Social Support Scale ranges from 3-12. A score ranging between 3 and 7 was classified as poor support, a score between 8 and 10 as intermediate support, and a score of 11 or 12 as strong support. This is a slightly different classification compared to the original OSS-3 (in which the scores range between 3-14 because in the Eurobarometer some response categories were combined. These differences are unlikely to affect the results.
