75–84 points: Competitive for many state nomination streams; may receive 189 invitations in less competitive occupations.

85–95 points: Strong profile. Likely to receive invitations for most occupations across multiple visa streams.

95+ points: Excellent. Expected to receive invitations quickly for most in-demand occupations.
