The major problems in the examination are the vocabulary and grammar complexities. In this study, the reasons for the complexities of writing skills were examined. This study was conducted at Jahangirnagar School &amp; College, Savar, Dhaka to find out the strategies for writing skills. Important questions of research have been developed to identify writing skill complexities. Data were taken from teachers, students and parents based on questionnaire survey.

The transition from undergraduate to postgraduate study can be challenging and complex, with many students experiencing uncertainty and anxiety about the jump in academic requirements. Peer review has been shown to enhance students’ critical thinking and writing skills, and subsequent academic performance. This paper describes and evaluates the use of peer review in a formative assessment on a postgraduate taught master’s course. The associations between both given and received grades and feedback and subsequent academic performance were analysed. Peer feedback was shorter and contained fewer meaning-level comments than tutor feedback. Grades did not differ between peers and tutor and were positively associated with performance on similar assignments in first semester, but not over the academic year. Students reported that the peer review process enhanced their work by demonstrating how others approached a topic and encouraging them to ‘think like a marker’. The usefulness and feasibility of using peer review on taught master’s courses is discussed.
