You should contact isc2.org and talk to them or checkthe web site.  I would
bet that you would be required to maintain the CPE's from the time you pass
until the time you become officially certified.

I too am intrested in the same & facing the problem that all the jobs
interviewed for required CISSP but i too lack experience. Can we just take
the CISSP and exam and pass it?

Anyone who has done it?
