'die Prüfung' and 'die Evaluierung' can both mean that something is being assessed. 'Prüfung' puts more emphasis on checking: you look to see whether something is correct, safe, or in order. 'Evaluierung' puts more emphasis on evaluating a project, measure, or process according to certain criteria. The word sounds more formal and is often used in work, administration, or research. Learners may confuse the words because both involve looking at something closely. If you want to know whether something works or what value it has, 'Evaluierung' fits; if you are checking whether something is correct, 'Prüfung' is often a better fit.
