Which series exist
Eight series, read from Pearson’s course materials for Mathematics (9MA0 and 9FM0) on 31 August 2026: June 2018 · June 2019 · October 2020 · November 2021 · June 2022 · June 2023 · June 2024 · June 2025.
No summer series was sat in 2020 and 2021. The examinations for those years were held in October 2020 and November 2021 instead, so two years look missing from the list above and neither is.
