Revise is usually used without a preposition for the thing being studied. Different prepositions can appear after revise, but they often belong to time, method, purpose, or place expressions rather than the verb itself.
Revise normally takes a direct object: revise notes, revise a report. Revise for is common when preparing for an exam. Other prepositions such as in, by, to, and with usually introduce extra information rather than forming a fixed verb-preposition combination.
These forms are not interchangeable. Choose the construction by meaning, not by which preposition appears most often.
