Thanks for your help!
It is possible but unlikely. If you use a CLEP exam to meet one of your grad school's PREREQS that you could get into a pickle if the school is exceptionally picky. Some, not all, want grades for prereqs- if that's the case, then a CLEP won't do. Furthermore, if you take the CLEP outside or after your degree, and it doesn't appear on your degree transcript, then probably yes.
So, this question is a great question- it shows you're thinking, and that's great. It shows you're planning, and that's even better. But this is a micro-issue. IF a school puts up a roadblock, just pick another school. There are plenty.
