How, in detail please, is the RG score calculated?

06 June 2016 1 8K Report

Could anyone please explain to me why, for the past month or so, even though my reads keep on rising, my RG score has dropped by - if my estimate is correct - from around 35. 2 to about 33. 1.

Best wishes, Paul

Paul Stephens

That brings clarity to bear. Thank you Michael.
