Morphology

repass = pass (semi-transparent) = re + pass

The re- meaning 'again' is clear, but many learners will not readily know 'pass' in the sense 'go through or review'.

Etymology

Repass is made of re- 'again' and pass 'to look over' or 'to go through', like passing your eyes over a page. So to repass your notes is to review or examine them once more.
