Get the Peevsdrop mug.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.
