The aim of this crosssectional screening study is to determine whether the infection control nursing certification ‘online’ exam which held on 12 April 2019 has reached its goal. This research will provide an overall assessment of infection control nursing exam and will contribute to both the development of the exam and the evaluation of the training program. The results of the research are important to provide feedback for further training and examinations.Methods: For this purpose, the reliability of the test, test statistics and item analysis were evaluated. Out of a total of 318 trainees admitted to the training program, 266 trainees who successfully passed the theoretical and practical training successfully took the exam. All 266 trainees participated in the study.Results: The mean raw score from the test was 56.85 ± 9.45 and 120 45% of trainees were successful and 146 55% were unsuccessful. The percentage of success is hastane enfeksiyonları, kontrol programları ve Sağlık hizmeti ilişkili enfeksiyonlar, eski adıyla GIRIŞ lower than the previous exams. The standard error of the test raw scores was 3.35 and the reliability of the test was found 0.874. After adding the standard error as 4.0 to the raw scores, 62% n = 165 of the trainees were successful and 38% n = 101 of them were found to be unsuccessful. The mean power of the items is 0.71± 0.23. The test consists mainly of easy and very easy items n = 55, 69% . The mean of the item discriminative index of the test was found to be 0.31 ± 0.10 . It was found that case items n = 13 were answered correctly less than other items p 0.30 and the mean power of the items is 0.71, it is concluded that the exam is appropriate for its purpose. In order to increase the reliability of the test to >0.90 and increase the discriminative index, medium difficulty items should be selected rather than very easy and very difficult items. The evaluation of the test should be done by adding the standard error of the test to the raw scores to reduce the effect of the random errors that are expected to occur due to the fact that the exam is online. The low test success requires the re-evaluation of the training and achievement criterion by the experts. The training should be developed to increase the ability of trainees to identify cases
