Is it not the 1,3 and 5 of the scale?
thats what I was told too. the 1,3,5 and octave but when I played this to how I had worked it out from the scale I was told it was wrong??!!!

This may help.
Could it be they're looking for an arpeggio of a 7th chord instead of a triad? Playing 1-m3-P5 as you did gives you the same notes as the Im arpeggio from the natural minor scale. If they're asking for an arpeggio based on the harmonic minor scale, perhaps they're looking for 1-m3-P5-M7 ??
