From achieving a 42% and 50% in my undergraduate Data Analysis modules, I never thought I would be saying this - SPSS statistics is a life saver. You may be sat reading this think I must be mad, SPSS is the most confusing software ever, and you dreaded every data analysis computer lab at university. But what if I told you SPSS is not all doom and gloom. Despite my lackluster undergraduate data-analysis results, I actually managed to turn this around in my masters Quantitative Stats module, receiving 83% (which ended up being my highest module mark that year! Who would have thought??).
