Probably not much any more , go over used to mean to take in the basics of the item, to go through used to mean to study it carefully.

Go Over = cross something across the top
Go through = implies passing between something that surrounds you
ie. go over a bridge
or go through a canyon

Yes, to go over differs from to go through because of "the place where". "Go over" could mean taking a glance, go through could mean thoroughly looking, studying.

the diffrence is "to go over" is to step above something or rise above something...."to go through" is to come between something to get to the other side or conqured something and reflecting on it like ex: I had "to go through" many things in life, but I'm here today some thing like that....

"to go over "means to review and" to go through" means to actually past by(physically)......you can't really go through a letter.

Not when you are reading.
