The data were obtained from the official website of PISA. In this study, parametric tests were used in evaluating the quantitative data. An ANOVA test and the correlation were used. Findings The results show that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between Mathematic Literacy, Mathematic Content Knowledge and Science Literacy. Furthermore, it was found that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the time spent on science and mathematics outside the school and students’ Science Literacy. Conclusion According to the results of this study, it might be said that Mathematics literacy, Mathematics Content Knowledge and the time devoted by students to Mathematics and Science outside of the school increase, the Science Literacy increases. In addition, it was revealed that the students who have a good understanding of Mathematics are more positive in …
