I'd recommend practicing the scales like this (It's what I do):
G l ---------------------------0-2-4-2-0--------------------------
D l -------------------0-2-4--------------4-2-0------------------
A l ----------0-2-3--------------------------------3-2-0---------
E l -0-2-3-------------------------------------------------3-2-0-
G l ---------------------------2-4-5-4-2--------------------------
D l -------------------2-4-5--------------5-4-2------------------

The patterns repeat themselves from the 12th fret onward.
