The results of the t-test in this study obtained tcount as much as 3.7582 at a significant level = 0.05 and degrees of freedom (dk) = 2.0032. Because the value of tcount>ttable which is 3.7582 > 2.003 so that it can be achieved H0 is rejected, meaning that there is a difference in the improvement of students' reading comprehension skills using the Microsoft PowerPoint interactive learning media application using only conventional media.
