The effect size is computed to be the following:
 Cohen d=dˉsd=−27.6011.98=2.30\text { Cohen } d=\frac{\bar{d}}{s_{d}}=\frac{-27.60}{11.98}=2.30
which is interpreted as there is approximately two and one-third standard deviation unit difference between the pretest and posttest means (with the posttest having the larger mean), a very large effect size according to Cohen's subjective standard.
