Which English A SL exam sessions are covered for 2.4 Visual & screen?
9 exam sessions from 2021 to 2025, the latest May 2025. Every Paper 1 in every timezone is read and classified in full, which gives 11 papers in this archive.

What do "banker", "due" and "rising" mean?
Banker: examined in at least one sitting in four and still appearing. Due: regular before, but absent for the last two exam sessions. Rising: clearly more common in the last two years. Our classification of real papers, not an IB statistic.
