The experimental design applied in this research (Nonequivalent Control Group Design). The reseacher divided two classes into experimental group and control group.

And the criterion of ttest is Ha accepted if ttest>ttable. Based on the criteria for testing hypothesis was if the value of t test is higher than t table, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and hypothesis alternative (Ha) is accepted. After viewing the result of T-test formula, the researcher concluded that “there is significant influence of using Mind Mapping Technique toward students’s reading comprehension in narrative text at the eleventh grade of SMA N 2 Metro Academic Year 2013/2014."
