There have been 500 scores gained of the pre-test to the post-test experimental class and there have been 211 scores gained of the pre-test to the post-test in controlled class. The finding showed that t-observed = 6.738 was on top of t-table = 1.667 at the amount of significance ∝ = 0.05 and therefore the degree of freedom (df) = 68. So, the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted, because t-observed  was  more  than  t-table  (t0  >  t  table  =  6.738  >  1.667).  Lastly,  personal experience strategy affected students’ achievement in writing narrative text.
