The writer compared the data in both pre-test and post-test score. The highest score in pre-test was 72 and the highest score in the post-test was 85. Meanwhile, the
smallest score in pretest was 40 and the smallest score in post-test was 60. In addition, the tables indicate that the mean of pre-test score was 62.27 and the mean of
post-test score was 73.55. It means that the mean of post-test is higher than the mean of pre-test, so the writer concludes that there was an improvement in students’ score
in writing narrative text after they were taught by using story mapping technique.
2. Analysis of Data
From the data above, the writer analyzed the data using t-test in both manual calculation and using SPSS 20. This analysis was done to examine the difference of
score between pretest and posttest. First, the writer manually analyzed the score from pre-test and post-test by calculating the result score into the formula as follows:
1. Seek D Diference between score of variable I X and score of variable II Y
and then D = X-Y 2.
Add D then getting ∑ D

variable X dan Y. Next, after the result of manual calculation was gotten, it rechecked the result
using SPSS – IBM SPSS Statistics Version 20. Paired Samples Test is used to calculate the difference between the pretest and posttest. This analysis can help the
writer to examine the improvement of students’ ability in writing of narrative text. Here are the results:
