How accurate are the simulators on myFico?

I just ran a simulation showing a lump sum of payments along with the refund we got via SCRA and its showing a potential 20-35 point Fico 8 bump across all three CRAs in my fico.  Curious if those simulations are in the ballpark or should I not even consider them?  My next 3b report isn't until 12/27.  Kind anxious to see what it will all shakeout to be.

They might be good for educational and/or entertainment value? It may or may not be close. I don't rely on them.

How accurate are the simulators on MyFico? Almost half as accurate as a psychic reading by Cleo.
