when i pull credit it comes with an analyer for all 3. you need to look at what each score will be after you take care of the things it suggests. if its not going to bring up your middle score then i might not be worth you doing.

What types of things are you dealing with?

The easiest and fastest way to boost your score is to pay down your revolving debt utilization. I've read that the FICO scoring models maximize your score when all cards report a zero balance while keeping one card between 1 and 9% of your credit limit. Go to the MyFico forums and especially the credit rebuilding board if you have other issues like collections, charge-offs, etc.

Credit projections/analyzers are never 100% accurate, but some are better than others. I subscribe to IdentityGuard and they have a credit analyzer for all 3 CRAs. I have found them to be extremely accurate. The only problem I have with their analyzer is that it cannot account for score projections from removing derogatory info (chargeoffs, late pays, etc). It only projects for reducing or increasing debt, new credit cards, closing cards, etc etc.
As mentioned above, you might be able to get some better info from others if you describe what situations you are trying to analyze to increase score. Jon is correct that decreasing debt and credit utilization is the best way to maximize score, but there are many other situations you could be referring to.
