intensive review

Thorough study session

An intensive review is a thorough, concentrated examination of material or performance.

The phrase appears in academic and professional contexts: The course includes an intensive review of calculus fundamentals.

Unlike casual review, intensive suggests sustained focus and comprehensive coverage—cramming everything important into a dedicated period.
