Article claims there are only 3 exams, have we been duped into studying more?

For some reason I found myself on BeAnActuary. I was looking through the articles they have linked, and I found this one which has a particular paragraph of interest.

Those skilled in mathematics and statistical analysis can find rewarding opportunities as an actuary. The career is challenging, and becoming an actuary requires passing a series of three exams. It’s also constantly evolving. “It’s a process of lifelong learning,” says Cecil Bykerk of the American Academy of Actuaries.

We like to keep the true number a secret. It's not like the first link when you Google "Actuarial Exams" tells you the correct info, right?
