Fall term update: visit our COVID-19 Information website for more information.
SIN 2020 status update: We are currently marking the SIN exam solutions and are experiencing some delays. Please be patient as we work through the results of this year's SIN exam. You will be emailed your certificates once we are finished in the near future.
If you are a student who cannot write the exam through your school (with an exam administrator or teacher), we will proctor the exam for you and email you your login credentials before the exam date.
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 exam, 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 should approach their physics teacher or guidance counsellor who will have access to all the details (or they can get the details by visiting this web site).
