Reading the Numbers
At 65 points, your ranking score for the Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) is 65. In the External Auditor pool, roughly 2,997 submitted EOIs rank ahead of you and about 486 are tied at your exact score, which puts you in the bottom quarter of the pool, so this score is not yet competitive.
State nomination changes the maths: a 190 nomination lifts your ranking score to 70 (+5); a 491 nomination lifts your ranking score to 80 (+15). At the higher score, fewer EOIs rank ahead of you, which is why the state-nominated pathways can be faster than the 189 for the same base points.
