SIN Exam

Friday, May 1, 2026 (all day)

The Sir Isaac Newton (SIN) Exam is a test of high school physics and is offered by the Department of Physics & Astronomy at the University of Waterloo to encourage the teaching of physics. The test, although challenging, is meant to be refreshing and fun. Political and other topical humour have marked SIN exams for years. Students participate from across Canada, the USA and abroad.

Students must be registered by their teachers in order to participate.

We wish all students the best of luck on their test day!
