I had the same problem, although now I meet the req's with my degree. When
I spoke with the ISC rep, he was trying to sell me on the courses, so I was
able to dig a little deeper on the "audit". He said, on average, 8% of
their passing class gets audited. Sometimes, people do not meet the hartd
req's though, but they have the ability to demonstrate "experience" via
knowledge. He was a little vague, but if you were to have a few published
white papers, or your named tacked onto some open source sec projects, this
could be helpful.
Again, this is from a sales rep, so take it for what it's worth.
For CISSP studying, I suggest http://www.cccure.org/.

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?
