Abstract	Reports results of two studies on metacognitive accuracy with undergraduate education students. Participating students were asked to judge their personal performance in a multiple-choice exam as well as to state their confidence in their performance judgment (second-order judgment [SOJ]). In each study, we compared four conditions that differed in the type of the presented 5-point confidence scale for SOJs. In Study 1, four bipolar scales with different labels were applied; in Study 2, unipolar and bipolar scales were implemented. The results of study 1 with 420 students showed that undergraduates on average provided accurate performance estimations. However, students were not aware of their judgment accuracy, shown by a low fit of SOJ and judgment accuracy. In addition, the type of provided scale significantly influenced the SOJs. Study 2 with 348 students replicated the findings of the first study and gave further insight into the effects of uni- vs. bipolar response scales. (ZPID).
