The whole scale should be slurred if possible, but a lot of mine need a breath after the tonic at the top (although the rhythm of the scale should not be disturbed by the breath). Hope this helps.

And is it just 3 pieces out of the book - no separate study anymore?

The studies are in List C as they always have been, and you will find three of them in the book, along with three each from List A and List B. List A and List B pieces are accompanied, List C pieces are unaccompanied.
