student t test is used when you are examining students performance and brain stuff between means of scores of student groups. generally small groups.

its same as t test for small groups.it has some statistical manipuation for small groups.

paired t test is like if our class has taken a test before and after a course and the means of the two tests are being compared for any difference that this test is used paired t test
