Tamiko--

It sounds fine to me. Why do you think something is wrong? Make sure all
your missing value codes are set properly. You can download a free chapter on
the two independent samples t-test from

want to  see if people who get married when they are 25 years of age or
younger have  more years of education than those married at 26 or older. I
ran a T-test  Independent Samples Test with two variables (Age When First
Married &  Highest Year of School Completed). In Grouping Variables, I put
Age and  defined them with a cut point at 25.

Unfortunately, I think I am  analyzing this wrong. Anyone have any
suggestions.

This is so  simple, but I'm not getting it...

Thanks in  advance.
