Well, in British English, revision can mean the same thing as studying, or reviewing material, for an exam (which in the UK can be called a "paper." ) So I can see where the confusion comes from.

But in America, proofread is revision, and studying for a test is reviewing.

Strictly speaking, as you've stated the two cases, both are a review. To revise means more than just proof-read, it means to actually edit the errors (although amend would be a better word.) A revision typically entails an updating of the information contained to make it more current.

Review means to proof read AND to go over notes before a test.
A revision is to revise or change things. So you may proof read (review) a paragraph and then do a revision (revise it) to make changes.

Review: going over something again, an examination.
Revision: an act or result of revising (to make changes or corrections in).

There is Only ONE GOD and that tells the collision between these two religions. Islam and Christian. The Qur'an has only 1 version from the day of its existence until now but not for the Bible. The Qur'an has never been changed or rewritten with addition of any author. The Bible in other hand has been changing versions till now and added by certain authors to keep up with the change of time. The Qur'an is the words of GOD Himself, therefore can never be challenged with the human mind and it fits through all times regardless of what era are you in. That explains why it has never been changed. The Bible too before was the words of GOD but since that it has been changed many times, the reliability has been degraded even though it came from the same GOD because as i said before, there is only One God.

Review means to go over something.

Revision means that something was changed.

revision you would be proof reading and making corrections.
review would be to go over the lessons again to study.
