They are different though. Trying to avoid scheduling issues is a smart move. Booking in exams when you know students are going to miss them (whether they're "allowed" to or not) isn't going to help anyone.

But after the schedule has been set, when a best effort has been made to make it work for as many people as possible, "I'm going to a concert" won't cut it.
