Guesstimate of Score Increase

I want to apply for credit in May and want to get my scores as high as possible.  TU is 693 and EQ is 663, both reporting identical information.  I know that my CC util is hurting my score.  Both cards are at 50% util.  Can anybody take a stab at how many points my scores can go up by mid May, due to paying off the balances today and getting my util to 0-1%?

My score has gone up 38 points

Yay!!! Since January 2010, I've been watching my score and started the FICO challenge.  I started with 620 and it has now gone up to 658.  However, here is the sad news:  I received a letter from Chase two days ago whereby they are notifying me that due to my high balances relative to my credit limits, they will close my credit card.  I owe $2400 so of course that will increase my utilization and it will go up to YIKES ...121%.  Yes I have other credit cards that are almost to the limit with the exception of one which is at 0 balance.  So, my score increase will be short lived.  :smileysad:

2 Judgments deleted off credit report and my FICO score only increases 6 points?

I had two judgments from 3 years ago in the amounts of $230 and $3,200.  Both of these were paid in full right before the judgment was going to be placed on my credit.  After I paid, the judgment was filed anyways and stayed on my report until I recently reviewed it and filed disputes to get the judgments deleted from my record.  Equifax came back and deleted the judgments.  However, my FICO score only jumped up from 602 to 608.  Why didn't my score increase significantly after these two judgments were taken off?
