Scars and Stitches, Ch. 7: Lost & Found
Tumblr media
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Series Masterlist | Masterlist
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Summary: Roadside camping leads to a few self discoveries. Warnings: Panic attack, medical inaccuracies, hurt& comfort, PMP (painful amounts of mutual pining)
=======
After leaving the CDC, you and Daryl followed the others for about ten miles until the caravan stopped.  Everyone got out and hugs were exchanged.  Carl and Sophia surprised you when they ran over and hugged you tightly. They were good kids.
You were relieved to see that both Dale and Andrea had made it out but were heartbroken that Jacqui did not. She hadn’t wanted to.
Rick and Shane decided Fort Benning was your new destination, and Glenn plotted a route to get there. Then, the scavengers went to search nearby for supplies and prepare to sleep in the vehicles for the night.
At some point in the late afternoon, Rick approached you and pulled you off to the side for a private conversation.
Daryl didn’t mean to snoop on you and Rick, but the deputy just happened to lead you over near where Daryl was siphoning gas. Daryl continued listening, hoping you would finally tell Rick about Shane. Because the second you did, Daryl would finally give Shane the ass-kicking he deserved.  However, Shane never came up. Instead, you and Rick talked about Daryl.
Rick looked down at you with what seemed like mixture of concern and anger.  He jutted his chin toward your arm.
“He do that to you?”
Taken aback, you didn’t answer right away.  Did Lori tell him about Shane?
Rick went on. “Daryl Dixon is bad news.  I was letting this slide because it seemed you could handle him alright, but now this?  From now on, you will stick close to me or Shane.”
You snickered, then burst out laughing.  “You think Daryl hurt me?  Daryl would never do anything to hurt me.”
Rick cocked his head, now glaring at you sternly.  “Don’t lie for him.  That’s what abusers want you to do so they don’t get caught.  You stay away from the guy.”
You took a deep breath.  “First of all, you don’t have to read me the pamphlet on abusers. My parents beat the shit out of me and my brother for most of my childhood. I know how that routine works and have ten years worth of therapy bills to prove it.”
Clearly you had surprised him, and he briefly patted your shoulder.  He opened his mouth to speak, but you held up your finger to silence him.
“Second of all, keeping close to Daryl Dixon is probably the safest move I could make, not to mention I happen to enjoy his company.”
“Look what he did to you! He would’ve killed Dr. Jenner!”
It had been pretty clear to you that Daryl was only trying to intimidate Jenner, not actually kill him. “Daryl didn’t hurt me, but he did keep me safe—both from what happened last night and when we left the CDC.  And it turned out Jenner wanted to kill all of us, so that point is moot.”
Rick opened his mouth to take exception, but, again, you didn’t give him a chance.
“Third of all, Daryl has been helping us stay safe, when he could fare much better on his own. He has skills none of us could match.  But even without all that, he is a good man, one of the best men I’ve ever known, and I won’t have you speaking ill of him again. Rest assured, I have no doubt if someone needs their ass kicked, Daryl would do it, and then some, but he’s no threat to you, certainly not to me, and no one else unless they deserve a boot up their ass.”
*
Daryl felt a heavy weight pressing against his chest.
What you just said was suffocating in its kindness, and he had to get away from everything and everyone.  Like a ghost, he fled into the thicket of trees by the road, seeking solace in the only home he knew.
*
Rick relaxed his stance, and you felt a lot of pride in standing up for Daryl without having to break your promise to Lori.
Running his hand through his hair, Rick paced back and forth a few times.  It was clear he had a lot more on his mind. In fact, maybe you had been only a small part of what had him keyed up.
On his next pass, you took his elbow and led him to sit at the side of the road. Surprisingly, he let you.
“What’s going on, Rick?  Is it Jacqui? She made her choice.  Like you said, it’s not abandoning someone if they decide to stay.”
*
Rick gave you a half smile, chagrined you were throwing his words back at him. You were probably right about Daryl, he had to admit. However, he’d lost the target of his ire, and had a lot more bottled up inside him. Not to mention a secret he didn’t have the heart to share with anyone, not even Lori or Shane.
He clapped his hands on his knees.  “Fort Benning’s a good call.  We can get there if we’re careful.”
“Trying to convince me or yourself?” you replied.
Rick threw you a half smile. “Perceptive little thing, aren’t you?”
You shrugged, “Hyperempathy is a side effect of my upbringing. Both a blessing and a curse.” You snickered, “And I wouldn’t exactly call myself little.”
Rick laughed with you, but he had to show you he meant no harm. “Okay, not small but cute, like the little sister I never had.”
You nodded with a smile, “I get that a lot.  Point taken.”
Rick started feeling a little better. Laughter was good.
After a moment, you said. “Fort Benning is a good idea.  Even if it’s our plan B.  That’s why you have a plan B.  Better than no plan at all. We did good to get here, and the only person we’ve lost since Atlanta was Jacqui.  That was her choice.  You have your family and Shane.  Dale and Glenn and Andrea, they made it out, too.  And Daryl’s pulled through for all of us.  This may not be the world we want, but we are lucky to have each other.”
Rick thought it over and tried to focus on what you said.  “True enough,” he sighed, feeling marginally better.  Jenner’s secret still had him rattled, but there were other things to focus on, people to take care of, decisions to make.  Maybe plans C and D to consider.  He stood up and helped you off the ground.  “Let’s get back to it.”
*
Back in the forest, Daryl was losing it, trying to grapple with what you said and what he knew to be true.
He wasn’t any good, not at all. He was worthless and needy and expendable. He knew you were smart, but you were stupid about this. You had him all wrong. Not even his own family wanted him, so why should anybody else? 
He thought he was getting to understand all the little pieces of you and how they fit together to make someone so remarkable, someone who sought his company, someone he cared for so deeply it was starting to scare him.
How could you say those things and mean them? He wanted to call you crazy or a liar, but he knew that you were neither.  He wanted to dismiss all that you said, but the words had come from you, a person he had been trusting since the day you met, a person who had no reason to be next to him but was, day after day.
Fuck, he was crying. It felt like the forest was pressing in from all sides, and he found it hard to breathe. A choked sob rippled through him, and he thought he might die. But he slammed his body into the trunk of a huge tree, pressing his face and fingers to its rough bark, giving in to the unpleasant sensation to keep from feeling what was inside. He allowed himself until the count of ten to ride this out.
After, he wiped his tears and snot on the inside of his undershirt.  He took his crossbow off his shoulder and walked deeper into the woods.  Hunting had a way of soothing his hurts and dragging his focus to the here and now.  Among the trees and animals, he was lord and master, everything else his prey. 
It was well after dark when he headed back to the road, a couple of possums and an owl to show for his efforts.  He intended to quietly make his way back to the RV, take over watch from whoever was on guard, and stay perched up there for the rest of the night.  However, when he emerged from the treeline, you were right there, leaning on a car near the siphoning equipment he’d abandoned, waiting.
He didn’t speak as he approached, and neither did you.  So much of him wanted to ignore your presence—had you been waiting? For him?—but he couldn’t help giving you a small nod of recognition.
You reached out a hand to stop him from walking by, and he flinched.
Instantly, you folded in on yourself, and Daryl couldn’t decide if he wanted you farther away or closer: both options soothed and hurt in equal measure.
“S-sorry,” you stammered.
He waited.
You cleared your throat. “I need to take out the stitches I put in the other day.  I thought maybe you’d want to do it out here, away from everyone.”
Daryl had to take a few deep breaths, and he cursed ever letting you help him. But the wound had been bothering him something awful, and Merle had been trapped on that roof. Then, you walked into his life, offering a helping hand and a pretty smile.  Tonight, you had waited up late for him, knowing that the darkness would best hide his scars. It would have been much easier to do this all in the RV with daylight and a table.
He turned and headed back into the woods. Instinct (or familiarity) told him you would follow, and you did. When you caught up to him, so that you were walking side by side, Daryl took your wrist and held it gently.  He told himself it was to make sure you didn’t get lost in the darkness, but he knew better.
*
You let Daryl lead you into the treeline; he had a large emergency flashlight, so it was easy to see in front of you.  You felt bad for startling him, but after everything you’d been through that day, touching his elbow didn’t seem like a big deal.  He had lifted you in his arms, something no one had done since you were a kid. And the way he held you afterward, cupping your face and pulling you close had been sweetly intimate. What had happened in the past few hours to to change everything? It hurt, but maybe Daryl needed more space than you’d given him.  He’d done so much for you, yet you were selfish. You wanted more comforting embraces, quiet conversations, and companionable silences.
Perhaps everything that had happened since leaving Morgan and Duane—including the radio silence that followed—had made it easy for you to find a friend in Daryl.  It’d been less than a month since you met him, but in that time, you were almost always together. Maybe today you had simply overstepped his boundaries.  Next time you’d ask before touching him.
After walking for what felt like fifteen minutes, Daryl stopped in a very small clearing.  Then, he wedged his flashlight between a couple of branches of a tree, up high, flooding the clearing with light.  Everything beyond was now in total darkness, and you had to admit it was a little frightening.
You said, “Are you sure you want to do this out here?”
He grunted his confirmation.
“What if something finds us, like a bear…or a walker.”
“I’ll hear it.”
If that was supposed to comfort you, it did not. “You’ll need to sit still, though.”
Daryl stared at you a moment before saying.  “Already scouted this area. Nothin’ out here’s gonna hurt ya.”
You sighed and had to take him at his word. As frightened as you were, he was the expert when it came to the forest.
Daryl took off his leather vest and laid it on the ground. With his back to you, he pulled his flannel shirt overhead, followed by his tank top. You couldn’t help but be mesmerized by his muscles as he moved. It was like you were seeing him for the first time:  the definition of biceps, triceps, and delts in his arms, the smooth movement of the traps and lats on his back.  His scars were just white noise compared to raw masculinity of his form.  Watching him move was fascinating, like a silent performance only you were privy to. 
He sat down in front of the vest, which he’d apparently laid it out for you to kneel on. Of course, he had. Daryl was thoughtful like that.
You kneeled on the vest and got to work. It was a struggle with your sore arm, but not terribly painful. With each step of the process, you talked him through every maneuver before actually performing it.  You hoped the information would help him stay calm and not feel cornered.  You did your best not to think of the beauty of his back, but the privilege of touching him—even in the process of treating his injury—had your heart beating faster and your stomach full of butterflies.
Often, Daryl reminded you of a barely tamed animal, not just when he was in danger but also around people.  However, with his back to you, Daryl was exhibiting absolute trust. That meant more to you than anything about his appearance.
As you began removing the stitches, Daryl abruptly asked, “How’d ya learn to be so quiet?”
The answer was complicated, but you tried your best to explain.  “My parents worked overnight at a coal refinery, so they were usually sleeping when my brother and I were awake.” You left out saying that your parents would beat the shit out of you if you woke them up.
He grunted. “How they’d look after you if they was always sleepin’?”
“They didn’t.”
“Is that why you stole stuff?”
You had finished removing all the stitches. “I’m going to rub this down with some antiseptic,” you told him and began doing just that.  “They’d spend money on liquor and cigarettes and anything else to help them get through the week.  My brother and I usually didn’t factor into it.  Food stamps only got us so far. The first time I stole, the rush was incredible. I found out I had a knack for being invisible.  Read a book about picking locks, practiced on our trailer door at night, graduated to lockers of the rich kids after school, then I was getting into anything that needed a key.  Sometimes because I needed to, sometimes because I wanted to.”
You prepared yourself for a rush of unpleasant memories, but nothing happened.  The past stayed where it was meant to: part of you but not ruling you. 
“Never took you for the sort.”
“The antiseptic is dry, so I’m going to put on a fresh bandage.”  After putting on the bandage, you got up and handed Daryl his tank top. “No one else took me for the sort, either. And that’s why I never got caught.  I’ve always been heavyset and unremarkable.  Easy for people to ignore.”
You knelt back down and began packing up your medical supplies.
*
Daryl could not fathom you walking into a room without notice, especially when it came to your striking eyes and beautiful curves. You were like a beautiful balm, captivating, and comforting.  He had basically run away from you earlier, but that was more about his fucked up shit than anything you did.  Now, being with you had him relaxed and almost content.  You had been gentle and patient, giving him just what he needed to be at ease while you touched him.
He found his flannel shirt and started unbuttoning it so he could put it back on.  You picked up Merle’s vest, dusted it off, and waited.
As he pulled his flannel on, you showed him the stitches in the palm of your hand.  “Can I just toss these here, or will they hurt a baby squirrel or something?”
Daryl took the cut stitches and put them in his jeans pocket, no reason why, he just did. 
You dusted off your hands. “My turn for a deep, personal question,”
Daryl’s breath caught in his throat.  You wanted to know about his scars.  He’d been lucky that you waited until now. Still, after what you'd said about your own parents, maybe you would understand. Maybe you wouldn't look at him with pity or comfort him with empty words.
Clearing your throat, you said, “Are you allergic to sleeves?”
Daryl snorted and gave you a half smile. You were grinning back at him, so pretty in the light.  He couldn’t answer right away—not because he had no words but because he needed to commit the vision to memory: the spark of joy in your eyes, the fullness of your round cheeks, the way you held your head just so.  After a few seconds, he blinked away and finished buttoning his shirt. 
“Sleeves get in the way.  Caught on branches, caught in my bow strap.  And if you haven’t noticed, it’s damn hot out here.”
“Oh, I’ve noticed.”
Daryl flushed, unsure if that was innuendo or just you agreeing with him.  Flirting was not unknown to him, but it always did make him uncomfortable.  He never knew what to say, nor did he ever think people actually liked him. Flirting was full of empty words and vapid nonverbal cues, all part of a game with rules he would never master, never wanted to master.  Merle had done enough of that for the both of them.
Without looking at you, he took Merle’s vest and put it on. He grabbed his crossbow and flashlight.  Then, he led you by the wrist out of the woods.
*
Back at Daryl’s truck, he stood on the driver’s side, you on the passenger side, and together you laid down the back of the bench seat, making a small two-person bed.  There were even tiny cubbies to put the seat belt locks out of the way.  It was cozy.
“I can hop in there and lay out the sleeping bags. May be easier since I’m shorter,” you said
“Just yours,” Daryl replied.  “Gotta clean my kills and then take watch.  Ya good?”
“Yep,” you told him, ignoring the twinge of disappointment.   It’s not like you desperately wanted to sleep next to him, but you were hungry for his company. Nothing made sense about it, just an errant longing that you tried to brush aside.
You managed to make yourself a quite comfortable bed, but you decided to sleep on top of your sleeping bag rather than in it.  Like Daryl said, it was hot, and even nighttime hadn’t eased the humid heat of the day.  You reminded yourself to drink plenty of water tomorrow, and after a well-practiced body scan meditation, you were asleep.
Sometime later, the door to the truck opened, startling you awake.  Daryl was there, and he did not look happy.
“What’s wrong?” you mumbled, sitting up.
“Nothin’.”
Daryl maneuvered around until he was sitting beside you, breathing heavily with his arms resting on his knees.
“If you don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine.”
He slammed his fist on the bed.  “They think I cain’t take watch. Tole me to go off an’ sleep.”
“They?”
“Shane and Dale.”  Daryl’s eyes flew to yours, and now you knew it wasn’t anger—not really—it was rejection.
“You were out hunting all evening and got us food for tomorrow.  Maybe they figure you deserve to rest more than they do.”
He squinted at you.
You almost reached out a hand to squeeze his elbow but thought better of it.   You just let him sit in silence.  Maybe that’s what he needed.
*
Daryl didn’t believe a word you said, but he felt bad for messing up your sleep, so he kept quiet rather than argue with you.  Part of him wanted to punch Shane right in the mouth, repeatedly, the other part wanted to lay down here next to you and stay put until sunrise.
He sat there for a long time, thinking it over.
After about ten minutes, you said, “C’mon, let’s get some sleep.  If you can’t relax, you can have a Valium.  It’ll slow down your adrenal response and make it easier to rest.”
He stared at the bed, not ready to talk yet.  Thankfully you gave him some time before you said, in a small voice, “Can I give you a hug?  It may help.”
He was feeling lonely and hurt and remembered the first time you hugged him, how nice it had been. He gave you a small nod.
You sat facing him and hugged him from the side.  He felt your arms holding him tightly, and the pressure was delightful.  There was nothing sexual about this, but it was pleasurable to be held and soothed.  You pressed your forehead on the shoulder nearest you, and on the far shoulder you patted him gently.  It felt good to be touched, to imagine that someone cared.
You pulled away much to soon, but he didn’t stop you. He had no right to.
“Feel better?” you asked.
He nodded, dropping his head so you couldn’t see his face.  He did, he felt a lot better.  Always seemed to with you.
“Okay, let’s lay out this sleeping bag. Too hot for covers anyway.” 
Together, Daryl and you remade the bed, and laid side-by-side, both staring at the ceiling.  You offered to share your pillow, but he refused. 
Daryl basked in the stillness of having you near him, imagined hugging you asleep, and wished he was worthy of all you did for him.
“Did you want that Valium?” you asked after a time.
“’m good,” he said, and he was.
*
You rolled over, facing the back of the truck, curling into the fetal position until you were comfortable.  You heard Daryl shift behind you, but then he was still.  The easy silence encompassed you and held you safe.  It was not long before you were asleep again.
In the night, you could have sworn that a hand was resting on your hip, or someone was gently stroking the hair on the back of your head. Both were likely fragments of dreams you couldn’t remember.
*
It wasn’t until Rick took over the second watch shift that he realized you never told him how you got hurt.

Daryl's counting is a slight nod to the tv series LOST.

Fall, Winter and Spring (Blog#6)
I came to US for my MBA in Aug 2013. A month later I had landed an internship at Nationwide Insurance thanks to National Black MBA. After returning to Williamsburg I was undoubtedly happy. However that euphoria didn’t last long as up next were Mid-term exams. At William & Mary, the 1st year is divided into 3 MODs. Some subjects lasted only one MOD while some spread across MODs. In MOD 1 we had Accounting, Organizational Behavior, Business Analytics and IT Technology that were one MOD subject while Management communication and Leadership Development Experience was spread across MODs.
In accounting I felt like a fish out of water. Accounting wasn’t (and still isn’t) my cup of tea – like at all!! W&M does recommend incoming students at arrive early before the start of the program and attend boot camp where they go over accounting basics. In India as I studied science in my high school and then engineering during my undergrad I had a hard time classifying line items into asset or liability, let alone balancing the two.
Organizational Behavior required a lot of reading and case studies. My reading speed was slow. My mid-term results were not very encouraging. I was average at best and ended up with a 3.0 GPA Mid-term. Now there was a new threat looming. If my GPA drops below 3.0 and stays there I will lose my financial aid – which would be disastrous!
I focused all my attention in getting my grades up. In MOD 2 I had Marketing and Finance in addition to Economic analysis and Ethics. The latter two were easy for me, and I was able to get good scores. Marketing was taught by Prof. Larry Ring, it’s more like a lesson in consulting case than marketing. Really exciting and wonderful stuff but a lot of reading. I have always struggled with that when under clock. If I was fish out of water for Accounting I was a fish in outer space when it came to Finance. Regardless I somehow managed to get average grades in those two. So it put my GPA at 3.0 but top of the class grades in other subjects moved me out of danger and my GPA was at 3.3 by MOD 2.
On Campus Job & SSN: At W&M, my financial aid was scheduled to kick in during the 2nd year of the MBA program, but I desperately needed a job in my 1st year to keep me afloat. I applied for an on-campus job and got one as website caretaker for an English professor. It helped me pay my monthly phone bill at Verizon at the very least. Having an on-campus job also helped me get my Social Security Number. Usually for SSN you need a job offer or an internship offer. I did have an Internship with Nationwide but since the actual start date was 9 months out I didn’t have offer letter required for SSN until later. Regardless, 2 hours and 2 bus transfers later I reached Newport News in VA and applied for my SSN. I would feel bad for myself for being middle class poor and not having a car really. My classmates from China would have $$$ thanks to their strong currency and buy cars in the 1st week of our MBA program. Most US students will get some sort of auto loan or have existing vehicles. Most Indians come from a middle class families and our savings got divided by a factor of 60 thanks to the weaker Rupee. Which meant a very tight USD budget and worrying about money most times. Worse, the Indian currency was weakening meaning my parents had to put more Rupees than anticipated to meet the budget.
1 US Dollar = 55 Rupees in Jan 2013
1 US Dollar = 61 Rupees in June 2013
1 US Dollar = 65 Rupees in Sep 2013
Updating my SSN at Verizon helped me get my $400 deposit back. Remainder of academic year in 2013 was spent managing my budget, studying for grades and finding a work life balance. Chris let me drive his car and soon I got my driving license. Chris also invited Chloe, Teru, Frank and me to his home at Newport News for Thanksgiving. He taught us the rules for American football. I soon realized that talking about football is the easiest way to break ice with virtually everyone in the United States. I learned the rules of the game, and I picked up the team names and some players names over the course of time.
 Life was past paced until 2nd week of December that’s when 1st semester concluded after End-term exams were over. All of my US friends went back to their respective home cities. All of my international friends either went to their relative in US, or went back to China/India/Thailand etc. to be back with family. Some went on to discover America. Disney world, Alaska, Las Vegas etc. I had no money for such travel. Being on a budget meant I was by myself at Graduate complex. There were 4 students in all of Gradplex. Williamsburg resembled a ghost town in winters. (See empty law school library)
Tumblr media
PMP: Since the Green (University) Line stop running during winter break. Buying grocery meant a 2-3 hour roundtrip bus ride. I often walked to buy bread and eggs and the slippery ice or snowy conditions didn’t help at all. I was alone, poor and depressed. I thought of using this opportunity and start preparing for my PMP exam. Nearest test center was 3.5 hours via Amtrak away – Washington DC. I scheduled it in 2nd week of Jan 2014 and studied hard. I was locked in my apartment and literally had nothing else to do. Took the Amtrak to DC and stayed at my friend - Vipul’s place. Took the exam and cleared the PMP the next day. I was now a certified Project Management Professional. I was happy, not only because I cleared the PMP but also that I got to spend some time with Vipul. Vipul was my roommate during the last two years of my undergrad engineering. It was good to cherish old days.
I went back to Williamsburg after spending few days in DC as 2nd semester was about to start. Finally school reopened and Williamsburg became alive again. By end of Feb/March we were done with MOD 2 and MOD 3 started. MOD 3 was my comfort zone. Winter was on retreat and Operations, Macroeconomics, and Cost Accounting were my favorite subjects. My GPA was back up and I was looking forward to summer of 2014!!

9 Tips for Studying for the PMP Exam
The Project Management Professional (PMP) exam is an internationally recognized test for professionals in the project management industry. It is based on the information covered in the PMI’s Project Management Body of Knowledge, consisting of 200 mutually exclusive, four-option, multiple-choice questions. As with any test, you’ll want to prepare before taking the PMP exam. Many people neglect to take mock tests or study hard enough before their exam date. Signing up for a PMP Certification Training program is extremely beneficial since you’ll be able to pursue your project management career skills with the help of an instructor. When you’re enrolled in a class, you can work to achieve your certification at your convenience.  How to Prepare for the PMP Exam Here are some of the best ways to help you prepare for the project management professional exam in and outside of the classroom.  1. Study hard There’s no right or wrong amount of time to study, as every individual learner is different. Generally speaking, it’s recommended that you spend 20 to 40 hours studying (in addition to the time you spend in class) for the PMP exam in order to succeed. For best results, base your studies off of The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge. This guide will give you a great head start on test prep.  2. Follow a plan Regardless of what you’re studying for, having a plan of attack is always essential. Set clear and specific goals for your studies so that you know when you’ve achieved them. Balance your time wisely, being sure to consider how much time you can realistically study on any given day. Finally, be sure you’re studying the resources that are going to serve you best. The exam can be overwhelming, but with a plan in place, you can and will succeed. 3. Make time for practice tests As previously mentioned, one of the biggest mistakes people make in taking the PMP exam is neglecting to take a few practice tests first. By taking practice tests, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect on the actual test. In addition, you’ll be able to put a laser focus on the areas you don’t know as well and spend more time studying them. You won’t have a lot of time to spend on each question when you’re taking the actual exam. Practice tests can improve your question and answer recall and enable to you come to a conclusion quicker.  4. Study more than one guide The Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge is a great starting point, but it shouldn’t be the only thing you study for the PMP exam. Other guides that come highly recommended include:  5. Read the questions carefully Even though the questions are multiple-choice, one switch of a word can completely change its answer. Keep an eye out for those questions that lead you to believe it’s something you’ve read before in a reference book or guide. Minor changes can cause major blunders in your final test score.  6. Create flashcards One study method that will never go out of style is flashcards. The PMP exam features definition-based and formula-based questions. Flashcards are an easy way to study for these portions of the test. Not only will you be going over the cards again and again, but you’ll have to write out the question and answer, which can help your memorization of the terms and formulas.  7. Take training seriously The Project Management Institute requires that you spend 35 hours on your education before you apply to take the exam. Use this time wisely, as what you learn can help you pass the exam. Focus on the founding concepts of project management, and most importantly, if you have questions, ask them! The classroom is your direct line to the answers and insight needed to pass the test.  8. Allow breaks Make sure you give yourself time for mental breaks. It’s just as important to have enough rest leading up to the exam as it is to study the reference book and take practice exams. You don’t want to go into the test feeling stressed out and tired. Ensuring you stay healthy, physically and mentally, while preparing for the test will enable you to remain cool, calm, and collected during the exam.  The grading system for the PMP Exam is not straightforward. Each question is weighted by level of difficulty, and no two students will get the same set of problems. So, it’s tough to say what the pass rate is. That’s why taking practice exams is of the utmost importance. The more you practice, the more knowledge you’ll have to help you determine what questions may be considered easy and what may be considered hard.  9. Enroll in a PMP certification program The Project Management Excellence Center (PMEC) offers a PMP certification program that will ensure you are fully prepared to take the test. Their team of instructors specialize in PMP, CAPM, PMI-ACP, as well as Agile and Scrum methodologies and training, and are hand-selected based on their experience and industry knowledge.   PMEC provides complete course materials, including study aids, references, and a 90-day subscription to their online simulation of the PMP exam with over 500 practice test questions.
