Playing test in Jazz Band... Help?

Circle of fifths.... we have a playing test in jazz band on this. He gives each person a random concert scale from the circle and we have to play it's first five notes. I have figured out that if he says Concert C for me (alto) my first note would be three 1/2 steps down. A. so does that mean I'm playing the A scale? A, B, C#, D, E? and for Ab I'm playing the E scale? first five notes being E, F#, G#, A, B? And then when he says play the Db concert scale I would be playing Bb , C, D, Eb , F? And just like that? 3 1/2 steps down and play THAT scale?

It's actually 4 semitones down. If he says B flat concert scale, you would play the G major scale.
