Is it normal to not be able to remember anything during burnout? (sh.itjust.works)

I'm tired boss. I've had a really rough semester and I can't look at my calculus without my eyes glazing over. Now that it's time for the final I'm looking back at all the concepts I had "breakthrough" moments with... And I got nothing. Can't remember a lick. I don't have any gusto in me still, I'm already planning to retake the course but fuck me ive never experienced burnout like this.

Is this normal?

I didn't struggle with any of it when I went through it, I just have subsequently found that I didn't retain many of the rules. The derivative's power rule is about the only rule I don't have to look up these days. I'd like an online resource that has a bunch of practice exercises to help drill that stuff into me.

    I'm lamenting that Khan Academy had such a system in the past but it looks discontinued for a seemingly less useful one-and-done approach. Just throwing out the idea about gaps in knowledge in case.

    One option would be to find additional textbooks. I believe my math courses used an open source one.

    This looks similar maybe, I can't recall: https://openstax.org/subjects/math/
