Ratings of chess.com are maybe realistic.They in my own opinion measure you according to the games you are playingwhether you are a good player or not.So its just a matter of keeping track of your online games and making sure you play if its your turn.So if you are very busy,its advisable to play games which take a long time like 5 days per move or more.But since my work is with computer so its easy to track my online games and so know this is my rating.its just a matter of being commited to your games when it is your turn to play.
