          I'm not getting this. Is there some kind of allotment for x area and if you get to the end, you get whatever xp you missed?
          
          What I'm saying is that if there are 5 guys and you are only able to kill 3 of them with stealth, you can come back and kill the last 2 guys before you reach the next transition. Do it however to get the maximum amount of xp.
