I'm pretty sure all of this is within NDA, if not, somebody slap me.
When I took the lab last October in SJ, I received the AM section only
first. The proctor said the reasoning behind this was that they had had
problems with test takers discussing topics on the exam during day 1 lunch,
so they limit the amount of info you have up to that time.
Don't worry, there is enough material to keep you going without being done
early and waiting around, unless you are some kind of network(and typing)
dynamo.
I was done about 5 minutes before lunch with the AM section, but was done
with the entire day 1 portion well over an hour early.
You DO NOT have to have the AM portion completed before lunch, you can
continue on it after lunch, along with the PM section.
Besides, Day 1 is the least of your worries, Day 2 AM is where the pressure
is really on, at least for me...
