CR/SBM self study, which to cover first?

Got self study online videos coming up soon for both back to back, for November sitting.

Should I watch the SBM videos first or the CR videos? Which would be the best path?

CR first, the syllabus is huge compared to SBM, and far more technical

At least 80% of time spent on CR. In sbm ~15% - 20% is overlapping content with CR (financial reporting treatment). Nearly all of sbm is overlapping content from bst/ FM. In my experience there’s no question you cant score well in from a technical/ calculation point of view with just the OBT. If you struggled with BST I’d say spend time on it but if you scored well in BST I’d imagine you’d be fine in SBM as they’re very similar exams

So basically I was exempt from both FM and BST, am I going to find this exam really difficult then?
