ok c flat is just B natural scale

B major has 5 sharps
B, C#, D#EF#G# A# B

b natural minor has 2 sharps bc#def#gab

b harmonic minor has 2 sharps plus 6 and 7th note sharp
b c# d e f# g# a# b

b melodic minor has 2 sharps plus 6th and 7th raised ON THE WAY UP ONLY
b c# d e f# g# a# b a g f# e d c# b

Try this fingering chart http://www.wfg.woodwind.org/flute/
Good luck

Do this, go on google and type in this : fingering for the flute, there are all kinds of links here that have fingering charts....and most of them are for free, good luck !!!!!!!

start on Cb (B) and everything is flat

Cb Db Eb Fb Gb Ab Bb Cb

enharmonically - same sound, different spelling:

B C# D# E F# G# G# A# B (5 sharps)

that's an unusual scale to have to play on a playing test, I think thinking of Cb is easier than thinking in B - others prefer to think in B.

Let's hope it's really Bb major scale (much more common)
Bb C D Eb F G A Bb (only 2 flats)

but if it is Cb - there it is for you.

Good luck.
