Credit score bump at 3 months?

Playing around with the simulator it seems like there's an improvement in score at the 3/6/9 month etc. marks for on-time payments. This month will mark 3 months of history on the only two CC I have. Is it likely I will actually see a bump, or are the simulators misleading me. If so does anyone know how much it might be (I know, I know it varies so much depending on credit history), the simulators are indicating it will be between 5-30 points (5 point increase for my lowest, 30 for my highest). 

Also, if my new statement cuts on the 11th, my February payment was due on the 8th, does anyone know when that payment history gets updated on my credit report?

Thanks!

Creditors usually report the statement balance within a few days of the statement, allow up to 2 weeks after that for all the CRAs to update.

You will see many bumps as you build up your first year of credit.
