Any undergraduate students interested in writing the Lloyd G. Elliot University Prize Exam sponsored by the Canadian Association of Physicists should contact Prof. Jeff Hutter as soon as possible to make arrangements.  This year’s exam will be held on Tuesday, February 7 at 1 pm.

The University Prize Exam takes place each February and is designed to provide an interesting as well as challenging experience.  The exam content includes all of the core areas of undergraduate physics, and their applications to both familiar and unfamiliar situations.

The exam website contains more information, as well as sample exams from previous years.  Note, however, that the exam guidelines were changed beginning in 2011 to make the exams less impossible, so don’t be too traumatized by what you see.

What’s in it for you?  The top student at each university is listed on the CAP site, and there are cash prizes available for the top three in the overall competition.
