TBSL is one of the inference tools of the students’ scientific literacy level. Elaborated by Laugksch and Spargo, the test is refered to in the national and international context. In Brazil, it was translated by Nascimento-Schulze and since then researches were conducted using it as an instrument. To explore Brazilian studies, a literature review is presented to know the national production that has made use of TBSL. We found 17 productions. The works highlighted its theoretical structure and the reference in international researches, as well as the suggestion of instrumental reduction studies. With this article we hope to gather the experiences that used this tool and, thus, know the profits and challenges of using it.

Keywords : Quantitative research; Scientific Literacy; Literature review.
