Prepares to vs. prepares for? #1 (permalink) Fri Apr 02, 2010 0:36 am   Prepares to vs. prepares for?
 

Hi, came across the following phrase and I wonder if it shouldn't read 'prepares for' rather than 'prepares to the....':

"efficiently and thoroughly prepares to the the TOEIC'

Many thanks,
Torsten

I think it should be "for". That's strange usage to me.
