Reading the Numbers
At 75 points, your ranking score for the Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent) is 75. In the Medical Laboratory Scientist pool, roughly 58 submitted EOIs rank ahead of you and about 207 are tied at your exact score, which puts you in the top quarter of the pool, a competitive position.
State nomination changes the maths: a 190 nomination lifts your ranking score to 80 (+5); a 491 nomination lifts your ranking score to 90 (+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.
