"I just need to do some last-minute revising before I leave for school."
2) When I get stuck on a question in a test, can I say that “I get locked up on it.?”
Thank you.

Hints: We revise numbers, a plan, a scheme, schedule. But we use "edit" which is another word for " making changes", for text, (reports, story, comments etc...)

As suggested, in communicating with people in everyday English, it is better to keep it simple so that its meaning is clearly understood. i.e. "I have to revise the number before I leave the office..."

That said, it is possible to use the participle form of "revise" in a sentence, of course, depending on the context. Your sentence is OK. # 2 is a big "no".

No. It's better to say that you are stuck on it.
