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.
1.The night before her maths GCSE Bethany was astounded to find that the Factor Theorem was part of the syllabus. As she was unaware such a Theorem even existed she filled twelve sleepless hours with frantic prevision, which culminated in her sending an abusive email to her maths teacher.

2. Martin: Surely you knew the Baddeley and Godden study would be in the exam?
Beth: If I had I would have prevised it, fool!

baby boomer revision disorder

a problem with baby boomers to think that everything good in the world came from them. In reality, it did not.

Modern computers? Those were invented by cracking the codes of Nazi Germany in World War... that's the Greatest/G.I. Generation.

The Internet? That was created by two men, one born in 1943 and the other in 1938, both well before the baby boom (1946-1965).

World Wide Web? Okay, yes, two British baby boomers invented it originally, BUT...

The MODERN World Wide Web and Internet, with the new end-to-end encryption, WhatsApp, Google, YouTube, Skype, etc.? Those were ALL updated and modified by Generations X and Y (AKA millennials), NOT BOOMERS!

Basically, boomers are not responsible for creating the vast majority of modern technology and society. There was much created WELL BEFORE them that allowed to add their little contribution, and there was much modifying, updating, and innovating that made modern technology work like it is today WELL AFTER them.

Next, boomers will be taking credit for ending WWII (LOL!!!), creating Facebook (ROTFL!!!), and inventing the lightbulb (LMFAOOOOOO!!).

When a Generation Xer or millennial comes up with a device to help the world adapt to global warming and the dangerously changing climate without the human population dying out, then boomers will take credit for that as well. Pathetic. Garbage in, garbage out.
Another example of baby boomer revision disorder is how they think that they were the most revolutionary, badass generation growing up, even though a quick talk with the Silent and Greatest Generation will tell you that these narcissists did absolutely nothing for civil rights or the environment and are still trying to claim all the credit for them.
