One wrong note makes a scale completely incorrect.
(Natural minor and harmonic minor scales differ by only one note.)
Lower two thirds of a letter grade (A+ to A-, A to B+, A- to B, etc.) for the following:
  • E flat major rather than E major
  • F sharp minor rather than F minor
  • Overlooked one descending melodic minor accidental
  • Confused harmonic and melodic minor
