### sense in the lessons

In maths: a word of school: review lessons, review questions; sometimes counts reviews or pages reviewed; rate per night. In school: «review for the test» (UK: revise). In everyday life: book reviews, star reviews online. Safety: not all online reviews are real; some are fake.
