The name of the scale is whatever the second to the last flat is. For example, if you have 3 flats, B flat E flat and A flat, the name of the scale is E flat, because it is the second to the last flat.

How do you read key signatures?

Key signatures are the sharps or flats at the beginning of the staff. To identify the key signature of a scale that consists of all sharps, look at the last sharp in the key signature. Whichever note the last sharp lies on, the key of the scale is one note above it. To identify the key signature of a scale that consists of all flats, look at the note directly before the last flat in the key signature. The second-to-last note is the name of the key signature of flat keys. However, you cannot use this helpful trick with the F Major Scale which only has one flat (B flat).
