So as we know the Lyman series is n=1, the Balmer series is n=2, and so on and so on. My question is whether or not we will need to know all the series after these two or will we just be given n = 4?

Paschen series (n=3) might appear once in awhile, but you are not expected to know the name of the series corresponding to n=4, 5, and so on.
