The sample for this research was the students of 7D SMPN 3 NATAR, Lampung Selatan consisting of 31 students. The study used the pretest and post-test design. The instrument was a writing test. The results showed that the mean score of the students' pre-test was 52.87, while the post-test mean score was 69.19. Based on the calculation, the hypothesis was proven since the t-test result showed a significant level lower than the alpha level (0.01<0.05), and t-value was 11.240, which is higher than t-table (1.697). This indicated that the hypothesis (H1) was accepted, confirming a significant improvement in students’ writing after using the mind mapping technique. The aspect that showed the most improvement was content, with a gain of 6.08. Thus, it could be concluded that mind mapping could be applied to improve students' ability in writing descriptive text.
