The instrument of this research is essay text descriptive written test. Hypothesis testing in this study used t test. The results of this study indicate that there is significant effect on the application of mind mapping techniques on students' descriptive text essay writing skills, where the ttest is 3.569 and the ttable with n = 64 at a significant level of 5% is 1.6990, in the results of this calculation it can be concluded that 3.569> 1.6990 which means ttest > ttable. Then hypothesis testing was held with the t value obtained from ttest = 3.553 and ttable = 1.6690.
