State Pension forecast very unclear. Full basic state pension after 29 qualifying years.

My State Pension forecast says that I need only an extra 9 qualifying years to get the maximum full state pension. However, at the moment I have only 20 qualifying years so far. Now the question is: How is it possible to get a maximum full state pension just after 29 qualifying years? As far as I am aware it should be a minimum of 35 or 44 years. Thanks.
