The calculation of t-test shows that the experimental group got higher score (M = 33,00), than the control group score (M = 30,05). In other words, the tobt (2.534) is higher than tcrit (2.000), meaning that the null hypothesis is rejected. It can be inferred that there is a difference between experimental and control groups.
