Mock test में बहुत कम marks आ जाएँ तो आँखों के आगे अंधेरा छा जाता है, कुछ साफ़ नहीं दिखता। याद रखिए: अब score obscure हो गया।

When a mock test score turns out very low, everything goes dark before your eyes and nothing looks clear. Remember the line: now the score has become obscure.

Obscure is also a verb meaning to hide; its antonym can be evident, obvious or renowned depending on whether the sense is unclear or unknown.
