Reliable prediction of the isotropic hyperfine coupling constant A\(_{iso}\) is still a difficult task for ab initio calculations. Strang dependence on the method employed for its ca1culation has been found. Within a CI ansatz A\(_{iso}\) is considerably affected by the excitation classes taken into account within the CI calculation. In the present work the influence of various excitation classes on A\(_{iso}\) is examined. Calculations including all single, double, triple and a large part of the quadruple excitations are performed and the individual effects of the excitation classes are studied. It is found that the surprisingly good agreement found for S-CI treatments is due to large error cancellations. The importance of higher than double excitations arises from their indirect influence on the single excitations.
