From this study, the data obtained by test, it is essay test, then the data were analyzed used t-test analysis. From the data analysis, it was shown that tcount = 6,514 and ttable = 2,056 with the significant level (a) = 0,05. Since the result of tcount = 6,514 ˃ ttable = 2,056, therefore the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and Alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted.
