Questions

FAQ

If your question isn't here, ask Abby in the app — she's read every Botswana admissions handbook so you don't have to.

How are points calculated?

Botswana tertiary institutions use a "top six of 48" system per the Botswana Examinations Council (BEC). Each grade converts to points: A*=8, A=8, B=7, C=6, D=5, E=4, F=3, G/U/X=0. Your six best subjects are summed, giving a max of 48. Combined Science (Double Award) is one subject that fills two of those six slots, with doubled grades (A*A*/AA=16, BB=14, CC=12, DD=10, EE=8, FF=6, GG/UU/XX=0). ACRON applies all this for you and immediately shows qualifying programs.

Does ACRON support IGCSE results?

Yes. ACRON converts both BGCSE and IGCSE grades using the equivalence scale recognised by Botswana's tertiary admissions, then computes your top-six-of-48 score from whichever set you provide.

Which institutions does ACRON cover?

All twenty-three major Botswana tertiary providers: University of Botswana (UB), Botswana International University of Science and Technology (BUIST), Botswana Accountancy College (BAC), Botswana University of Agriculture and Natural Resources (BUAN), Botho University, Ba Isago University, Gaborone University College of Law and Professional Studies (GUC), New Era College (NEC), Institute of Health Sciences (IHS), Limkokwing University Botswana, Botswana Open University (BOU), Gaborone Institute of Professional Studies (GIPS), ABM University College, Imperial School of Business and Science (ISBS), Boitekanelo College, Institute of Development Management (IDM), DDT College of Medicine, Botswana Institute of Banking & Finance (BIBF), Gaborone Commercial College of Higher Studies (GCCHS), Phronesis International College, Mega Size College, Bosa Bosele Training College, and BOSWA Culinary Institute of Botswana.

Is the points calculator really free?

Yes. The calculator and program matching are free forever. The optional Plus ($4/mo) and Pro ($7/mo) tiers unlock timetables, performance tracking, the Abby AI coach (with weekly check-ins on Pro), read-aloud notes, and an international opportunities feed. Paid subscriptions for under-18 students must be purchased and managed by a parent or guardian.

About

About ACRON

Who runs ACRON, and why we built it.

ACRON is a Botswana education-technology service, operated by Mosupiemang Holdings (Pty) Ltd, trading as ACRON, and based in Palapye. It turns BGCSE and IGCSE results into the standard best-six-of-48 points score and shows students exactly which programmes they qualify for across Botswana's tertiary institutions.

We built ACRON so that every Form 5 student gets a clear, honest answer about where their points can take them — fast, and in pula. ACRON runs as an online service, supported by email and WhatsApp.
