Each rank you are given three more points for each skill (limited to your class), there are a total of six ranks for each class. You may only put a maximum of two points into one stat for each skill tree. Jedi and sith are limited with their engineer skills, they only get one point per level, unlike every other class who gets three.

IF you are a sith you are unable to study the lightside until the rank of Sith Lord, and you must never tell another sith that you study the light side. Once you reach the rank of Jedi master/Sith Lord you may redo your force powers as you please. The more points you have in a certain side, the greater your skill in that side becomes.)
