G# Major? Where was this covered?

I need to know the G# Major scale for an exercise. The only problem is - I have no idea where that was covered in the PMT course. I don’t remember it (which given my memory is not surprising in the least).

The way I worked it out it should look like this:
G# A# C C# D# F G G#
I looked it up online and this is the form:
G# A# B# C# D# E# F## G#

Yeah, ok. I can see how that is derived but I don’t understand the theory as to why?
Anyway, looking for clarification.
Thanks.
