Did you know that at a certain point in your life, your credit scores become more important than your SAT scores. Do you know how they’re calculated? Sometimes called FICO scores (because the software to calculate the reports was created by Fair Isaac Corporation), your credit is based on five points that are weighted differently. Here’s the breakdown:35% - Your Payment History
30% - Amounts You Owe
15% - Length of Your Credit History
10% - Types of Credit Used
10% - New Credit
