  ABSTRACT: This study aims to investigate SMK Oya Pre-U students’ perceptions on the use of mind mapping strategy in their MUET (Malaysian University English test) writing. To achieve the aim of the study, a questionnaire was used to collect both quantitative and qualitative data. Therefore, 25 SMK Oya Pre-U students with different band achievement in MUET (Malaysian University English Test) were selected to participate in this study. The analysis of the data indicated that majority of the students had positive perceptions of the use of mind mapping strategy in enhancing their writing skills. The use of mind mapping helps students in planning their writing, adapting a deeper level of understanding of the writing topics and promoting creativity in writing. The findings of the study are hoped to provide insights to the students, teachers and curriculum designers to integrate mind mapping strategy in ESL (English as a Second Language) writing classes. Instructional implications are provided as well.
