2025 Sir Isaac Newton Physics Competition Registration--Last Call！！
Springlight Office
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. The SIN Exam is meant to challenge the best students to apply basic physics in problem situations. Although challenging, it is meant to be refreshing and fun. Few perfect papers are written and the "raw average score" now ranges from 20-40%. We hope students enjoy the test! The results are never seen by any admissions staff and cannot count against a student in any way. Students participate from across Canada, the USA and abroad.
The test is written online under local school supervision during a two-hour period..
The contest is meant to be fun and will not affect your entrance admissibility. In fact, you are not required to write formal solutions unless you want to be eligible for a scholarship.
Scanned copies of a student's solutions will be requested for hand marking via email to their teachers.
Results will be computer-processed, with the top 100 or so papers hand-graded to select SIN scholarship winners and a host of book awards
