Of course, if you have only been playing harmonic minor in the previous grades, this may be a bit overwhelming (you are required to learn all 12 melodic minor scales for grade 6), so it is always better to start learning them 1-2 grades earlier (after you have mastered the harmonic minor scales, to avoid confusion).

However, from grade 6 onwards, students are required to play melodic minor for their exams. I usually encourage students to choose harmonic minor as it is easier to learn and remember the fingering and notes (you do not need to remember 2 different sets of notes and fingering for ascending and descending). For grades 1 to 5, students are given a choice of playing either harmonic or melodic minor scales.
