Note
The -ing form carries every meaning of revise, including one with a regional limit. In the UK, Australia and New Zealand, students spend the weeks before an exam revising, going back over notes and texts, where American English would say reviewing or studying. As a gerund it names the activity (revising takes longer than drafting); as a participle it builds the progressive (she is revising chapter three).
She spent the whole of May revising for her finals.
Revising for exams is easier with a proper timetable.
