League tables disagree because they measure different things. The NGMP Score blends the metrics that matter to applicants into one number you can actually sort by — so you can build a shortlist that balances ambition with realism.
- One ranked table for medicine, another for dentistry
- Sort and filter to find your realistic targets
- Cross-checked against the same data behind every school page

Know the UCAT score you actually need
Schools rarely publish a hard cut-off, so applicants guess. TrueScore predicts the UCAT score that won an interview at each school last cycle — with a confidence tier and a year-on-year trend — so you can apply where your score is genuinely competitive.
Compare your shortlist in one table
Once you have two or three contenders, stop flicking between tabs. Pick up to three schools and see cut-offs, interview formats, offers and decision dates lined up so the differences jump out.
