So many scores?!?

Long time lurker first time poster!
So I decided at the age of 31 with a wife and a 6 year old that it is time to grow up and take control of my credit. I finally graduated college and started graduate school. I also finally have a very good job that pays quite will for the first time in my life. So the wife and I are starting to look at houses to get our son into a better school district. I decided to pull my scores and TS came in at 604 and the other two were 584 and 568. Not a huge shock because of my past negligent attitude.
I currently have a repossession on my record that has been settled but is obviously still there and I have two paid judgements which I know hurt. Again I was never really concerned with any of that stuff but times have changed! I decided to get a secured card with Navy Federal, my mom put me as an authorized user on her Home Depot card so it is a start. Now because of this excellent forum I decided to sign up for the myfico 3B ultimate program. However, I have no idea where to begin with these scores. I get that mortgage lenders use a different score but myfico report shows a mortgage score on all three bureaus for three different FICO scores! One says the FICO 2 score and another says FICO 4 score and lastly the FICO 5 score. I have no idea where to begin but I am really dedicated to joining everyone in the 700 club!

I currently have a repossession on my record that has been settled but is obviously still there You need to begin a GW letter campaign to the reporting creditor asking for removal of the TL.   http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Rebuilding-Your-Credit/GW-letter-Q-amp-A-Examples-and-GW-Success-Stories/td-p/1573680and I have two paid judgements which I know hurt. Check and see if you can get the judgments vacated on grounds they have been paid, in some states this is possible you can goto the laws governing the civil court system and find what reasons a judgment can be vacated, The judgment may not be in the same state you love in so the laws of the state where it was granted would apply.Again I was never really concerned with any of that stuff but times have changed! I decided to get a secured card with Navy Federal, my mom put me as an authorized user on her Home Depot card so it is a start. Good start now you need to obtain at minimum 2 more in your own name ASAP to drive your Fico score even if they have to be secured. I would first try the Cap-1 prequal page and see if anything comes up there for you, even if nothing shows and you have not burned Cap-1 in the last year try for the platinum.

  • Branching Quiz:  Review Quiz shows ALL questions and MaxScore includes too many scores

    I'm using Captivate 6 (trial version) and I am testing out the branching capability following this tutorial ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-_Ja8vlZQw). The branching is working, but if I get to the end of my quiz and then select 'Review Quiz', it shows ALL the slides, including the ones that should NOT show up because the user selected options that didn't trigger them.  
    Also, it looks like the Maximum Score on the results slide includes the scores the user could get on slides they never see because of the branching :(.

    It has been a while since I tested this, but it did work for me. I suppose you are using version 6.0.1.240? Because I had some issues before the patch. I will check again if you confirm the version. And you are sure to have checked Branch aware in Quiz Preferences?

  • How do I count numbers within a specific range in a column?

    I'm creating a spreadsheet for my college courses where I enter each score from each class as I get them back and it continues to recalculate my grades in each course.  Now I'm on the part where I want to make a box that calculates the current GPA for the semester.  I know how I'm going to do it already but I need to figure one thing out first.  Say my scores are as follows:
    85.50%
    82.00%
    92.35%
    94.25%
    78.00%
    I need a working code that counts the amount of scores within a certain range, say for example, tell me how many scores are between 80.00 and 89.99.  I can figure out how many are above/below a certain value (80.00 again for example) with a code like this [scores being the column with the grades]:
    =COUNTIF(Scores,">=80.00") ---- this gives me "4" correctly
    BUT when I add another value and want it to limit scores to not just being equal to/above 80.00 but also below 90.00 it freaks out.  I tried the two following codes:
    =COUNTIF(Scores,">=80.00","<90.00")
    =COUNTIF(Scores,">=80.00",Scores,"<90.00")
    Neither work, i'm sure i'm just wording it wrong.  It should obviously spit out the number "2" with there being two B's.  Any help would be appreciated!

    I have set up a chart just like yours with the intervals (60-100) on the left and on the right I have no idea what to do.  Do I enter that code into each box? Right now it looks like:

    Jeremy,
    in my response, I gave you the expression I used to build the frequency table. It was:
    =INDEX(FREQUENCY(Data :: A,A),ROW()-1)
    If you build a document exactly as the one I illustrated, the same expression will work for you. If you use a different table name, you will have to adjust the reference.
    Regarding the COUNTIFS function, you must read carefully the syntax defined in the Function Browser or the Formulas and Functions user guide and follow it to the letter.

  • Reading a text file and storing its data as a 2D array.

    I am creating a high score class for a game I am building which stores the top ten scores (NAME and SCORE) in a text file. The text file will have no more than a list of 10 rows and 2 columns so a 2d array of [1][9] will suffice.
    My aim is to create a 2D array that can be sorted depending on scores but thats not the difficult bit.
    I know that I have to read in each line of the text file individually and have managed to do that successfully in my code so far.
         public void readScores()
              try
                   FileReader ifile = new FileReader("listOfHighScores.txt");
                   BufferedReader bufStream = new BufferedReader(ifile);
                   String positionOne = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionTwo = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionThree = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionFour = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionFive = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionSix = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionSeven = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionEight = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionNine = bufStream.readLine();
                   String positionTen = bufStream.readLine();
                   bufStream.close();
              catch (IOException e)
                   JOptionPane.showMessageDialog
                        (null, "AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED");
         }It's the actual inputting the data into a 2D array thats proving rather difficult for me. I'm looking into using String Tokenizer to split up the lines of the text file which looks as follows but after reading several text books am still puzzled as to how it actually works:
    300 James
    290 Bob
    280 Gareth
    270 Steve
    260 Nick
    250 Fred
    240 Ryan
    230 Ross
    220 Liam
    210 Jay
    Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!
    Many Thanks.

    Thanks for all your replies.
    What is this single array of custom objects you speak
    of? I can't find any reference to it in any of the
    text books i'm using.You have a score and a name, right? By custom object, I just meant make your own class:
    public class Score implements Comparable
       private int score;
       private String name;
       public Score(String theName, int theScore)
          name = theName;
          score = theScore;
       public String getName() { ... }
       public int getScore() { ... }
       public int compareTo(Object otherScore) { ... }
        // setName, setScore if you need them
    }Then make an array:
    Score [] scores = new Score[10];Then sort by score using (Arrays is "java.util.Arrays"):
    Arrays.sort(scores);If you don't know how many scores you might have, make a List such as ArrayList, add the scores to it, then use "Collections.sort(scores);" instead of "Arrays.sort(scores);".

  • Enhancement Request: Output Directory per Java Content directory

    I don't know if this is the right location for a feature request, but I've seen others in the forum here, so I guess I won't be reprimanded.
    It would be great for our project here if we could specify a unique output directory for each source directory that we add to a project. There is a similar feature in Eclipse and we would like to get off our Eclipse crutch and this would really help us out. We have several applications, that consist of dozen or so projects each, but each project may contain anywhere from two to many (scores) of source directories. We keep each source folder's output in separate folders.
    Alternatively, perhaps a way to import a dependency on a project in another application without having to actually add that project to the application would be a solution.
    What we're trying to avoid is having applications with 50 or more projects to keep track out each individual output folder and avoid changing our build process to accommodate JDeveloper limitation in this area.
    If the dev team doesn't see this happening, perhaps some thoughts or direction on whether this could be accomplished from our side as a plugin would be appreciated.
    Cheers
    -Christian

    hi Christian
    about "perhaps a way to import a dependency on a project in another application without having to actually add that project to the application would be a solution."
    Maybe a scenario like this could fit (part of) your needs:
    If you have two applications MyAppA and MyAppB.
    The MyAppA application has a MyProjectA1 project with a MyClassA1A.java file in its source path.
    The MyAppB application has a MyProjectB1 project with a MyClassB1A.java file in its source path that has a dependency on the MyClassA1A class.
    You could add a Project Library to the MyProjectB1 project that has a Class Path defined as the MyAppA/MyProjectA1/classes Output Directory.
    Although this approach could be of some help, one difference I see with "regular project dependencies" is that JDeveloper will not help you with building this kind of dependencies. You will have to make sure dependant class files exist, so you will have to "manually" compile the dependencies first.

    Why are you creating the score array inside he while loop? What's that for? It looks like it's for all the scores, but if you have 3 lines, then you're creating 3 different scores arrays--one with 1 element, 1 with 2 elements, and 1 with 3 elements.
    For all but the last one, you're creating it, populating the last element, then throwing it away.
    For the last one, you create it, populate the last element (leaving the first three with their default value of 0) and then that's what gets printed.
    When you have this kind of problem, print out a bunch of relevant stuff (and even some stuff that you think is not relevant) at each step of the way, so ou can see what your code is doing. Yout THINK you know what it's doing, but obviously you're mistaken. If you can't figure it out from staring at it, then you'll have to let the code itself tell you what's really going on.
    You'll have to create the array before you start the while loop, which means you'll have to know ahead of time how many scores you have, or know some maximum that you could possibly have and make it big enough to hold that many.
    Or,instead of an array, you couse use a List, such as java.util.ArrayList.

  • Cloning and hard drive longevity?

    Just had a monster hard drive crash upgrading to Mavericks on my MBP, lost 3rd party programmes and Time Machine cannot restore those without another wipe of the internal.  Somewhat at a loss as to what way to clone the new drive and onto an external drive that will last.  Any advice greatfully received from you experts!  Cheers.

    Hi, Thanks for your comments.   I got Apple to install a new internal drive and load Mavericks, did a manual copy of my data files and now I want to make a bootable clone of that on another external drive.  Problem is, which drive is reliable?  WD ones seem to have a bad reputation.  Also, with TM it seems data files are reloadable but not [especially 3rd party] software, which seems pretty dumb!  Will cost me many scores of ££ to replace. 
    I found this on the forums: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-6101, but it does not actually take you through the cloning process, which is a pity.  Sounds like the method of choice nonetheless.

  • How many new accounts before I start getting denied for an auto loan in Oct? (Fico 8 score 820)

    As I understand, DCU gives some fantastic auto loan terms (1.5% for its members, which can be anybody from the general public), and they want mostly 680 and above to qualify for that rate. So you're possibly fine unless maybe you hit double digits in inquiries?  Now I also understand that you might qualify for 0% financing at some places; their models (the auto enhanced ones) might penalize more harshly than FICO 08 for opening up new CC accounts so you may want to be careful with that.  The current MyFICO package offers those scores as well, I believe. Why don't you check where you are with all the new accounts w.r.t auto enhanced scoring?

I understand its ideal to wait for 6+ months. But worst case I'll just wait another couple months or just buy my car outright. But to get a better idea and understanding of how far I can push this. Given my score and history, how many new accounts before I start running into trouble? I applied for 2 new CC so far. I'm going to APP for another 1-2. So in October this is what my inquires will look like: (4 new inquiries)Hard Inquires with past 6 months: EXP: 2-3.

  • Total up scores in many scenes

    Hi there.
    I'm trying to make a very simple flash game for my college project. The players will get 1 point each time they click on certain object. I've created 3 scenes and each of the scene has score value. I want to total up the score at Scene3. FYI, I use:
    1st Action Script add this to the variables frame:
    _root.total = 00;
    2nd Action Script add this to each of the hit sections in the Action Script frame:
    _root.total = Number (total) +1;
    My question is, how to add up the scores from Scene 1,2 & 3? What script should I use? Thanks in advance

    if you use _root.total in each of your scenes, it will store a running sum.  so, just use:
    _root.total

  • Score - Intel or 7.2 issues - a cry for help!!

    For many years I've stuck up for Logic and, if I earned commission for every copy I've sold on behalf of Emagic and Apple I'd be a richer man.
    Recently I took on a project and, forced into using a new Mac Book Pro (and therefore 7.2) I had to write some music and print out some scores. For the sessions a friend of mine had a mac running Sibelius so I thought I could export a MIDI file from 7.2 straight into Sibelius.... The MIDI file export bug (now fixed in 7.2.1 apparently) RUINED MY LIFE for a week I won't go into details (but lots of headscratching and eventually writing out parts by hand and not sleeping)
    Now I have to print out some more scores - owning Logic 'Pro' should mean I don't have to buy Sibelius -I know how lovely it is and how musicians complain with parts printed out from Logic but I can put up with that - at least I can put the scores into page edit and print from there - but NO! Page edit doesn't work! Is this just Intel/7.2? Yet again I'm away from my trusty G5 and getting sick with desperation and anger - my hair is getting greyer by the second and I feel Apple don't give a hoot - can any of you help me, please?
    G5 Dual 2Ghz + MBPro Dual 1.83   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   though I may dust off C-Lab's Notator and my old Atari

    there are minor issues with score in 7.2.1 (for god's sake make sure that you are on that and not 7.2). but page edit not working is not one of them. i have been doing a very detailed score all morning in 7.2.1.
    what you might need to do is make sure that in view you have "print view" activated. BUT you should be aware that there is a layout tool problem using "print view" in 7.2.1. that is, if you are trying to move bars down in pages beyond page 1 or on a tiled page, it won't work. turning off "print view" will allow you to make the layout adjustment and then you can switch print view back on.
    so when you turn print view on what happens?

    47 - sometimes sticks position sensor and reset the alarm or call turning the phone down zhkranom fails, only if it knocked on his fist;
    48 - in the title notes, it is impossible to put only the first word, there is different climbs More nonsense from the following text, is treated only by repeated pressing the space bar on the first line until the line does not end the string, "enter" does not help;
    49 - not a "connection manager" to select and connect a network of Wi-Fi, but only through the menu, a manager can only look on and off - not very ergonomically!
    50 - Glare surface of a metallic edge and glass display
    51 - memory leaks & apps hangs

    The stability of the phone has improved with the latest firmware. There are less fatal crashes requiring the removal of the battery to recover.
    There are just too many faults and limitations remaining that annoy me on a daily basis.
    Email client is very slow to download attached images (17kB jpg can take several minutes or fail completely).
    Access points need to be "fudged" using a 3rd party app (which is part of the new firmware) to get mildly reasonable connectivity but it still asks to connect at every opportunity.
    The E72 bluetooth (BT) only works with car kits supporting streaming audio over bluetooth. This renders the Nokia SatNav client 'mute' and therefore useless in many cars with buit-in BT.
    The E72 is on a 2yr contract but I was so fed up that I bought an Android phone which seems pretty good - the basics work perfectly. 

  • Up a score of one insert swf in captivate

    I do not control many variables in captivate and wanted to know how to do the following scenario:
    I realize a quiz of 10 questions via captivate I want to know the score at the end.
    When the student answers correctly, before moving on to the other question it accesses a swf animation style is a penalty shootout game where he will be able scored 1 point if he succeeded. I will wish that this score is accumulated each time the learner brand appraisse the final result screen on a line other than the result of the quiz. For only the score against questions ascend to lms. What line of code do I insert in my swf file so that captivate retrieves the score via the swf animation?

    That means the file path or link to the original file has been broken.   Apply the two fixes below in order as needed: 
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I paid down a card to zero and my score dropped 18 points

    Hi and welcome! You need to keep balances low (1-9% util) on credit cards and other revolving credit. High outstanding debt can affect a score.  Too much use of credit shows you may need more that you can handle, not good. Not enough use of credit does not demonstrate that you can use credit responsibly, also not good. It is a balance - show you can manage that balance and you will be rewarded. All revolving accounts reporting a 0 balance results in a Fico score decrease. Read up, take it all in, there are many answers in the following post, after that if you need calrification and/or still have questions, ask away! http://ficoforums.myfico.com/t5/Understanding-FICO-Scoring/Credit-Scoring-101-START-HERE/m-p/8169

    WOW!! i did not know that little trick, thats wy, my scores has been so slow in rising up, is becouse i paid in full before the statement cus off,and always reported 0 balance, also recently closed a CC account with zero balance, and my scores dropped a lots points, so from now one i willlet report some small balance Hooray!!! i have learned so much from this forum, and each time i log in i learn somenthingnew and beneficial for my financial life!! thank you all for the greatest financial advices!!! you guys are awesome!!! Yes, ensure that not only you let report 1-9%, but also important, only let ONE of your credit lines report anything at all. No matter how many credit lines you have, only let one report a balance of 1-9%. You can and should rinse and repeat for your other credit lines. One billing cycle let Credit Card A report, next cycle let credit card B report. This is unnecessary and needlessly complicates things as cards seldom all report at the same time. Just pick one card and allow it to be your "reporter". By switching cards each month you can end up with periods between the cards reporting dates where either both are reporting a balance or neither is reporting a balance. That causes your scores to bounce around. So, wait until your statement cuts - when the statement is cut is when the reporting is done to the credit agencies, then before your due date pay in FULL so as not to incur any interest. Then start on your next credit line. Remember, it's not that you never want to pay in full, it's that you do not want to pay in full BEFORE the credit card reports. If you wait past the due date then you will incur interst. Also, note, you can use as many cards as you like with as high balance as you like during the billing cycle as long as when the reporting gets done you only have one line reporting 1-9%. Reporting to the credit agencies is not done daily, just once per billing cycle. If you know when your statement cuts, and you can ask them, then you know when you need to clean things up with your balances before it cuts/reports.

  • How to add Score and Timer in Adobe flash

    Hi guys I am making a android game. I am new in actionscript programming and i can't find to get this right.
    I need to have a score and timer in this game >>> http://www.filedropper.com/eggrun
    It should have coins for adding the score and a countdown timer for it's gaming time.
    When the countdown timer goes to zero. The game stops then the stage will remove the game scene then a new layer will pop up with the total score in it.
    Please help me guys
    I am nowhere close to getting this right.

    There are many ways to do countdown timer. Here are two examples to countdown from 60 seconds to zero. Theoretically they should work the same, but practically not always. Since heavy processing can slow down frame rate and hence method #2 will not be accurate. Really depends on your need.
    #1, using Timer class
    var delay:Number = 1000; //the delay between timer events, in milliseconds.
    var remainingTime:int = 60;
    var countDownTimer:Timer = new Timer(DELAY);
    countDownTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countDownUpdate);
    countDownTimer.start();
    function countDownUpdate(evt:TimerEvent):void{
         //1 second passed, do something
         remainingTime--;
         if(remainingTime == 0){
              //60 seconds passed, do something
              countDownTimer.stop();
              countDownTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countDownUpdate);
    #2, using onEnterFrame event
    var frameCount:int= 0;
    var remainingTime:int = 60;
    addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, countDownEnterFrame);
    function countDownEnterFrame(e:Event):void{
         frameCount++;
         if(frameCount == Stage.frameRate){
              //1 second passed, do something
              frameCount = 0;
              remainingTime--;
              if(remainingTime == 0){
                   //60 seconds passed, do something
                   countDownTimer.stop();
                   countDownTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, countDownUpdate);
    As for your score part. It really depends on what exactly you're looking for. There are a lot of ways to do it, and for each way to do it there are even more methods to implement it. Maybe you can try to describe in more details of what you have in mind, so people can help you easier. Don't worry if one method doesn't work for you, since there are so many ways to do things in Flash with AS3. Good luck
