My First "8" score!!

[chasing8s]

I checked my EX score via My Fico and it came back as 817!!!  I think my heart stopped for a second.  But then I remembered some talk on this forum about EX being a "FAKO" score??  What does that mean?  I will say that my EQ and TU scores are about 70-80 points less, so I can't truly celebrate the "8" until I know if that EX score is just pure bogus, lol. 

Can anyone tell me what EX via My Fico is calculating and how come its so much higher than the others?

The ex score sold here is a FICO not FAKO. Congratulations on your achievement!

+1 and Congrats on your achievement!

It is a true FICO here, it's the latest and greatest version of Experian, referred to by some here as EX08.  The model still commonly used is EX04.
