This study was quantitative correlational study. The subjects were 13 students at eleventh grade students of SMA N 1 Pabelan. The researcher used test as the research instrument to gather the data. Furthermore, the data was analyzed through pearson product-moment correlation as the quantitative procedure using SPSS 16 version. The result indicates that students’ simple past tense mastery at the eleventh grade students of SMA N 1 Pabelan are categorized into good. The highest score is 92 and the lowest score is 32.

It means that there is similar direction relationship between the X and Y variables, if the X variable increases, the Y variable increases. After knowing the result t table of r pearson product moment with the number of subject (N) = 13 and significant level 1% is 0.958. it shows that rxy is > r table. It means that there is a correlation between students’ simple past tense mastery and writing skill.
