Your answer interests me. It's been a long time since I memorized scales and I only have a dim memory of how I did it, but I don't think I ever really used printed music for them. I often wonder, though, why my students seem so dependent on those scales in the books that indicate a key signature at the beginning and then simply show each scale note with no indication of sharps or flats (as you seem to use). It always seems to me what they're looking at is simply different versions of a C scale starting on different notes while having to remember the key signature to know which notes to alter. But then the written scale is the same 7 notes for each one - the notes A through G starting on whichever the tonic is.
Without meaning in any way to criticize this or belittle it, I'm curious what you find looking at a scale of all "white notes" in sequence does to help you play the various scales correctly (as opposed to simply looking at the key signature and then playing one of each letter name between A and G with the correct chromatics applied.
