It really depends on your personal situation, how much credit is available to you, for how long you had your accounts and many other factors.

I have citi identity theft credit monitoring and they allow to run different scenarios. I assume that I will max out 6 of my cards with a total credit of 70k and my score dropped 72 points. When I maxed out just one card of 20k, the score dropped only 28 points.
