Confidence means having a belief in oneself and believing in the things that we are doing is correct.

Where in, overconfidence is writing the exam without preparation with the great hope of getting a 100% outcome.

According to me, confidence is something with which you boldly or fearlessly face or tackle a situation.

And over-confidence is tackling a situation without proper knowledge about it.
