The sixth and seventh degrees are raised a half-step when going up (notice that sometimes when raising a note you'll end up on another white key), like the C-sharp melodic minor scale - where you need to raise B, but most of the time you just play the black key to the right on the way up, and revert to the natural notes on the way down.
