MyFICO is giving a free peek at your credit score for the first 10,000 people to register. FICO scores have a range of 300 to 850, higher is better. Requesting to view your FICO score does not hurt your score.

    It's not too difficult to get a general range for where your FICO is:
    http://www.bankrate.com/brm/fico/calc.asp

    Otherwise, you'd use one of the three free annual credit reports to check for fraudulent/inaccurate activity.

    if you pull your fica too often it actually hurts your credit rating.

    Your score will only be hurt by hard inquiries such as applying for mortgage, car loan, or store credit cards. When you do that it's also a good idea to do them all around the same time so it won't hurt your score that much, they will count those multiple inquiries as a single inquiry. Personal inquiries won't affect your score or inquiries from potential employers.

    There are plenty of places that are "free" but require you to explicitly opt-out of their paid subscription services.

    #5 Is the FICA the same as the FICO except for women's credit scores?

    Get a Washington Mutual credit card and it will display your FICO score for free all the time and you can even set email alerts if your score changes +/-20 points or something.

    My credit score is actually higher than heidelbergensis' SAT score (which he took a month ago).

    if you are more interested in obtaining a free credit report not your score you are able to pull a report from each bureau once every 12 months at annualcreditreport.com - They are the only service actually authorized by experian, transunion, and equifax for this purpose.
