I didn't put my number on the first three CLEP exams I took and when I transferred them to TESC they all went through. The proctor at the first place told me not to do it but the proctor I use now said to do it to avoid potential problems and make it easier to work with CollegeBoard if something goes wrong. I guess it's your choice, I think it would help if something went wrong to be able to easily trace it back to your set of exams taken but it is optional on both CLEP and DSST forms but I put it in. I noticed that FEMA makes me do it, maybe that is to prove residency to utilize the site. I wouldn't worry about it either way but I'd stick to doing it one way or the other.
My completed "non-traditional" credits include 27 credits from CLEP, 30 credits from DSST, 6 credits from ALEKS, 19 credits from FEMA courses including PDS, 3 credits from NFA courses, 10 credits from ACE Workplace Training, 3 credits from a TESC TECEP exam, and 3 credits from a TESC PLA course.
