Has no one heard the addage don't ask, don't tell? Turn this mole into a mountain and everyone will pay the price. Different testing centers will have different issues. Work the issues out with the testing center. If possible find a different testing center. As far as I can see the only grey area right now is whether or not you can have a calculator in the room during an online exam. There the precedent set by CLEP is pretty clear. Only the online calculator is available for use. On the other hand the test info sheet clearly states that you can take a calculator to the exam. This is where things get murky. OK if you limit the online version to only the online calc then people taking the paper exam using their own calculator (the same one I had to buy my 7th grader by the way) do have an advantage if the questions are exactly the same.I don't think not asking is an option. Others, including myself, have run into testing centers that believe no calculators are allowed at all. If you don't ask, and you don't find out until you show up at the testing center, it's likely you'll either take the test sans calculator and fail, or be discovered during the test using a calculator, and then have to fight against a score cancellation due to perceived testing irregularities. These are real problems and concerns, and you can't just sweep them under the rug and hope that your testing center is one of the more lenient ones.
I've got one math intensive test left. It's now my first priority before someone gets their lawyer involved.
