As with anything, it depends :) But I aim for a minimum of two revisions. The purpose of each revision also matters. For example:
Revision #1: I'll re-read and check for technical accuracy, fix typos, cut sentences, and add content.
Revision #2: If it's a tutorial I'll recreate the experience by following the steps. If I'm missing something, I'll add it in or I'll revise if something isn't clear.

It's even better if you can get someone else to redo the tutorial, that's the best way to test it.
