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.
The test will last 2 hours, in which students are expected to tackle 12 questions. Each question is multiple choice, and is aimed to test on commonly-taught classical physics concepts such as calculating the force, energy, velocity, or momentum of objects.

The contest this year is held on May, 2025, written under teacher supervision during a two-hour period. As in the past, material will cover basic physics, mainly from the Ontario Secondary School Physics Curriculum. The SIN Contest stresses basic classical mechanics and common sense. The test is written online.
