How do I correct a disconnect between what I have in iPERMS, my ERB, and my promotion points?

AIT Student, and will be for a long time, so maybe I shouldn't worry about it. But I have a thing for trying to complete anything I can. I've finished SSD1 already, and I wanted to know how many promotion points I had-- but the unofficial worksheet is completely wrong. It gives me 20 points for completing a bachelor's while in service, which I did not do, and zero points for my credit hours.
My ERB shows zero credit hours, despite a document listing 141 existing in iPERMS. The Drill Sergeants are a bit busy for me to trouble with something that literally shouldn't affect me for a year or so. But is there someone I should email, a button I should click, or something along those lines to get someone to correct the information without much problem?
Or am I perhaps better off just waiting until my duty station to worry about this?
Bonus question: What does one do with a CompTIA cert? I have no idea how to add anything to my accomplishments, even if I have the correct numbers and qualifications. Is there perhaps a site I am unaware of, or is there no "Submit for review" option in the Army?

Hahaha and so it begins!
Anyway to correct it you'll have to go through your DS to see someone in S1 to figure out what went wrong like CSM Darieus said below. Don't wait even though your DS might tell you that, your unit will appreciate you taking the initiative to manage your career.
+135 pts Civilian Ed (2 points per credit hour) Bachelors degree maxes it out
+0 pts Military Awards
+0 pts Military Ed
+340 pts Military Training (300 APFT for 180 pts + Weapons Qual 160 pts for 40/40 Expert)

= 475 pts total ?

Being a specialist in AIT doesn’t mean you should sit on it for ANY reason. Go ahead and get in that battle rhythm of fixing your paperwork to reflect what it should, otherwise you risk screwing yourself in the future.
So, you’re and 17C AIT student? Your drills are there to provide guidance on getting these things fixed. They may not know the exact answer but there are resources to fix these things they (and you) have access to. Between them, your 1SG and S1 (work permission on speaking with both before you just barge in the door) you can get these things corrected. Your 1SG is a awesome NCO, so don’t be afraid to ask him to leverage his knowledge to help you out, just do so respectfully and with you DS’s knowledge of you doing so. I believe I know your training room NCO also, hit him up.
TLDR; You have several resources within the company to fix your problems, utilize them and don’t wait to do so.

I don't know how to correct your problem...I just had to laugh that right after "discipline" it says "bad".
