if it's overdeveloped, then your highlight density will be too much. Look at the darkest part of your negative - can you see through it? Is there any detail there, or just solid?

Overexposure is a bit harder to tell with the negative. The way I can tell is if my shadow detail isn't the right tone. For instance, if what I wanted to be shadow looks like a midtone, I overexposed.
