When to start earning CPEs
Quick question... Does the clock start on having to earn CPEs commence after you are officially endorsed and receive your welcome package or does it start after you pass the exam? Im thinking it's after endorsement but I just want to make sure. 
Thanks

Starts after you earn the full CISSP designation (endorsment approved by ISC2). It has nothing to do with your exam. So if you were awarded CISSP on 24 OCT 12. Youe CPE cycle would start in 1 NOV 12. -

However, your AMF starts immediately after you pass the exam. For CISSP it's $35/yr for Associate and $85/yr for the full cert. You pay the AMF at the end of each cycle.

I recieved an email from ISC2 indicating when I was eligible to begin collecting CPE credits. -

basically from the first full month after you're confirmed as a pass. For example, I was notified in an August so my CPEs run 1st September - 31st August. Don't forget it's a 3-year cycle for CPEs...
Annual and Three-Year Cycle Requirements:
Annual CPE Requirement: 20 Domain-Related (Group A) CPE credits earned / submitted
Three-year Certification Cycle CPE Requirement: 120 CPE credits earned / submitted
Out of the required 120 CPEs, 80 CPEs must be Domain-Related Group A, which includes the annual CPE requirement. The remaining 40 CPES can be either Domain-Related Group A CPEs or General Education Group B CPEs.
