Most notes can be found in four or five different places on the guitar fretboard. This means you can play a scale or lick with a variety of fingerings in different positions. Each fingering will have different highest and lowest notes, so the particular fingering you choose will often depend on the highest or lowest note you want to play in a given lick. Shown below is another fingering for the C minor pentatonic scale. It is called the D Form because it follows a moveable D chord shape. Remember that the notes of the scale are exactly the same as those in the E Form (Pattern 1). Only the fingering is different.
