I don’t remember how the application is worded for that. However, almost every section has a notes area after it where you can explain yourself. Worst case, add it in (if you think it will make a significant difference) and explain your logic in the associated notes. This maximizes your automatic scoring while avoiding the appearance of lying or fudging the system. A human being will look at it before you receive a phone call/email and determine if what you put in is what they are looking for. Worst case, you get a question about it in the interview. I wound up adding a few hundred hours to my totals after getting the call that I hadn’t originally included, just don’t try to lower your totals. That looks real bad for the interview.
