Noun; compound of prefix pre and noun revision.
A form of panicked revision which takes place in the days and hours before an exam. Good old-fashioned revision becomes [prevision] when the revisor comes across a completely unfamiliar topic their teacher has neglected to mention prior to this point. Hence the student is not [revising] -revisiting- a subject but frantically trying to learn and revise it all at once.
Verb; To [Previse].
