This is what I did to my wife's EOI - I filled it up every time may new details (general information first, then IELTS results and finally the skills assessment part!). I just saved it after wala na ako madagdag na information until finally na completo!
Correct ka diyan, para no surprise sa mga informations needed!

Pero it won't affect naman yun ranking, right since you haven't submitted EOI yet. Yun kasi nababasa ko dito may makakaaffect daw sa "ranking" once nagupdate daw. I haven't done Skills Assessment and IELTS yet kasi research mode pa ako. Once na ready ka na to submit EOI, kelangan lang ba "i-submit" yun.

If you are really curious right, why don't you just make a fictitious character with an email - put all your details there except of course your name and your correct email. Send it and try to see if you can get an invite...
To be honest, I did that before and place all the anticipated score ni misis. It got generated an invite but di hinayaan ko na... B-)
My wife's application is okey, we got the + assessment from CPA Australia last 25th Sept then pass na kami ng EOI. 5 days later we got our invitation to lodge our visa, and visa was lodged mga 4 hours later, eheheh! atat ang tawag dun... )
Waiting nalang for the CO - did na the NBI thing and we will be doing the medicals sa sabado. Hope all will be okey! But yeah, waiting still sucks!!

If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa on or after 1 July 2012 and you are not
nominated by a state or territory government, you must nominate an occupation from Schedule1 of the SOL.
If you apply for a General Skilled Migration visa on or after 1 July 2012 and you are nominated
by a State or Territory Government, a direct entry stream Employer Nomination Scheme visa, a
Subclass 457 (Business (Long Stay)) visa or a Subclass 442 (Occupational Trainee) visa you
must nominate an occupation from either Schedule 1- Skilled Occupation List or Schedule 2 -
Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List.
so to answer your question, kung sched 2 po yung nominated occupation, you would need a State Sponsorship.
Occupation: Analyst Programmer (ANZSCO Code 261311)

Mukhang wala nga deadline if tama pagkakaintindi ko sa "Note: Until 1 January 2013 intending skilled migrants in Australia may be able to submit an Expression of Interest, through SkillSelect, for one of the new points tested visas (the 189, 190 and 489) and/or make an application outside of SkillSelect for an 885, 886 or 487 visa, provided they meet eligibility requirements."
I think ung keyword is "..intending skilled migrants in Australia...".
sorry bout the misinterpretation.
Thanks @eischied_21 and @psychoboy.

Which gives better, or faster chance to migrate? As independent applicant or as a state sponsored applicant? I am a nurse with more or less three years experience and masters. (please know im not bragging with masters thingy. I am just laying out facts which I think is helpful. ) I currently working as a flight attendant in an international airline.
If anybody can give me their insights, I will be grateful. Thanks in advance!
