Is it considered cheating for a teacher to review information with students before an exam, when the questions come from that review, given that some of the information was not mentioned previously, and some other information was not specified as coming on the exam, and that the teacher stated the answers before the exam, so the students solved them accordingly?

If the teacher's review before the exam is limited only to the locations of the questions, this is considered cheating for spoon-feeding answers. However, if the review includes various parts of the curriculum for reminder and information retrieval, there is no harm in that.
