    I’m fascinated how British English uses “revise” where American English uses “study”. I wonder how this came about. In America, you would say “I’m studying for an exam”, but use “I’m revising my paper” to mean you already have a draft of the paper done and you are looking it over to make improvements.

      Oh, is that what it meant? I was confused about the “plan your revision” part. Apparently it specifically means “to study again”, so what we’d call “reviewing” in US English.
