If you are not in a state that mandates the number of octaves that you must play, then do the number that you can do 100% of the time correctly.

2 octave minimum on all scales is the usual requirement in most all-state auditions. As an adjudicator, I would not consider someone all-state material on less than two octaves. I would also consider more credit to the auditioner who performed two flawlessly as opposed to 3 with a few stumbles.
