An accepted speed for amateur level? Not really, but there must be set speeds listed for various playing levels by organizations. Just wondering, if you mean 120 bpm using 8th notes, or 16ths? I recommend scales practiced at all speeds, especially very very slowly and also at the top end of your ability.
I play scales quite a lot and use Fernand Gillet's "Exercises for Scales, Intervals and Staccato for Flute" . His approach is methodical and produces interesting scale variations. He intended his scales to be played slowly, concentrating on each note to note transition. By getting it right slowly, the speed you want comes along nicely.
