Answer: Double curse

Explanation: The double curse effects that posits that poor performers or those devoid of adequate knowledge lacks the ability or required competence for self-assessment and as such seems to overestimate their score making it very difficult for them to develop strategies needed to acquire relevant knowledge. They often come up with ineffective strategies to aid their knowledge due to incorrect self assessment result.
