To answer one of your original questions: I think not too many people do a lot of serious studying over break. At least I know I didn't and neither did any of my friends, though I'm sure this becomes less common as you become a junior/senior and start taking more difficult classes. At the most, though, I think any normal (read: not ridiculously hard-working and grades-obsessed) person would at most do some light review over the holidays. There's always that 10 day reading period and 2 weeks of finals time, which is more than enough to review for the generally 3 or less finals that people have (I have 4 this semester, but that's more than normal).
