"She said she read an article which stated if you take a college course and fail it, you cannot take an exam for credit and receive credit for that subject. Is this true?"
That is ALMOST ALWAYS true. But.
When you leave a uni, you leave their policies behind, so it's always up to the school where you plan to finish.
The thing about the big 3, is that it won't matter because she didn't take those failing courses AT any of the big 3. In other words, to qualify for academic forgivenss/blank slate programs, she'd have to be a student at the college - fail THEIR courses, and then ask to take a CLEP. That's not what she's doing. She is going to have transcripts with courses that have F grades (which won't transfer) and she'll ALSO have a CLEP transcript (or ACE,etc.) with PASSING credit (they are ungraded) that they will bring in. This won't be a problem for her - tell her she can start immediately.
*edit to add* the links to the programs above are all specific to courses take in-house (EC) or that you don't want on your transcript (COSC) so she's good.
