For Task 3 - it just get one point finishing 3 tasks

For example: you read 4 books this read-a-thon

Book 1 - you completed task 1.3
Book 2 & 3 - you completed task 2.1
Book 4 you finished the 3rd book to completed task 3.1

You will received 1 point for completed task 1.3, task 2.1, and task 3.1

I hope this answer your question : )
