The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scientific literacy test on buffers and to assess the eleventh graders’ scientific literacy. This study applied a survey research design. This research instrument was developed by own. The development was carried out in five steps, namely, a review of the 2018 PISA scientific literacy framework and buffer subject matter, development of test items, experts’ judgment, pilot study, and finalization of the instruments. Meanwhile, a scientific literacy survey was conducted on 71 eleventh graders of a high level of senior high school in Malang Regency. The developed scientific literacy test consists of 22 valid items with a Cronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of 0.867. The average score of the respondents’ scientific literacy was 74.61 out of a maximum score of 100 (high category).
