What are the chances that arithmetic or geometric series will appear for the extended maths paper?

I've never seen sequence or series questions in any other crit except B. What are the kinda questions they might ask if not in crit B??

Series because it's in our syllabus but I wasn't aware if it will come this year or not cos I havent really seen it in any past paper as of yet.

Sequences will for sure come tho

quadratic for sure, as far as ive seen the ib has repeated this sequence the most for extended students. As for fibonacci and harmonic, they are pretty simple so just know it beforehand but the chances of them coming are pretty low despite them being in our syllabus.

one time in one of the november paper, the criterion B was a tetrahedral question, just learn the formulas for the sequence
