paper 3/4 is a decision making paper and it is on the topic people and place so expect a topic about where people live. it could be an MEDC or LEDC based question so do look at everything.
the bit where you can pick up loads of marks is the last question where you have to write an extended piece of writing about a decision you have made.

remember to say why you didn’t choose the other options
remember to use your own knowledge - show off your geography knowledge!
