The error in the pseudocode is that the variable "count" is incrementing up to the size of the array "scores", which has a size of 6. However, arrays in many programming languages are indexed starting at 0, meaning the valid indexes for a 6-element array are 0-5. Therefore, when count reaches 6, it is out of bounds and will result in an error. The correct loop condition should be "count < SIZE" instead of "count <= SIZE".
