This study aims to determine the level of mathematical literacy in the Minimum Competency Assessment. Qualitative methods were used as the research approach, and data was collected through tests. The results showed that the research subjects required special intervention on all indicators. At the basic competency level, the subjects could explore problems and connect known elements, but they struggled with formulating problems, strategizing, interpreting, and evaluating. At the competent competency level, the subjects did not write down the results of exploring problems, but they could pass other indicators well. On the other hand, advanced competency level literacy skills fulfilled all indicators. The study findings suggest that solving mathematical literacy questions requires both understanding and reasoning skills to enable students to make effective decisions.
