I've taught A&P for 8 years now, and over those years I've streamlined my lab practical process. I've put all the tips and tricks in a document and it's available for FREE download on Teachers pay Teachers.
Here's one of my favorite tips from the document: The "Testing Zone"
Having a designated area in your room for testing makes the feel of the whole lab practical experience more formal. I move the chairs from this area to the front of the room. This does make for a more crowded area at the front, but on testing days I think it's worth it. Students not testing are given an assignment for silent reading (usually the next section in the lab manual), and I very strictly require silence.
