This is why it's not a good idea to defer an exam unless absolutely necessary - it is a risk, because quite frankly, it wouldn't matter if your entire family died in a plane crash or something horrible like that. You cannot defer a deferred exam - it says this in bolded italic letters on the form (unless they changed the form...but it should still say). You might be busy, but you can either suck it up or repeat the course. That might sound harsh, but it's the way it is.
I have a friend who deferred, and he and the other two students in the class were told the wrong room. While it was eventually sorted out and they started about an hour late, they were told that if they hadn't been able to figure things out (or if they had just waited in the room without going to find someone from the exam office), they would have "missed the deferred exam" and had to repeat the course, through no fault of their own.
