And if you prefer, you can replace Sharon's fingering on the right hand by 123 1234 etc. (both are acceptable).

Nope thats not quite what i'm after, that is the fingerings for the standard C major scale. One of the many types of scales I have to learn for Grade 8 is to play any scale both hands together a third apart. The fingerings for this is slightly different

Thanks for the advice, although I have already started learning these scales with the right hand starting on 3, so i'll stick with that
