January exams are no longer an option, but having to take the BUSS1 and BUSS2 exams together in June presents an opportunity rather than a threat. There are a number of overlaps in the specification regarding topics such as cash flow and budgeting. This means you can combine your revision and focus on preparing for both of the exams.
This crossover should be seen as a major advantage, but you need to understand that the different papers will only ask questions that are directly relevant to the exam. For example, while you might understand variance analysis and how it works, the BUSS1 exam will not ask you specifically about this — although it can be brought in as a relevant example with regards to the problems in setting a budget for a newly established business.
