Preparing for a test

One mistake Koreans often make, is saying “These days I’m preparing the TOEFL” or “These days I’m studying IELTS.” Remember that in English, we say “studying for the TOEFL” or “preparing for a test.”

To say, “I’m preparing the TOEFL” means: “나는 토플 시험지를 만들고 있다”

직접 토플 시험 기출 문제를 만드는 사람이 아닌 이상 틀린 표현이겠지요?

Unless you are the person are in charge of making the TOEFL test, this expression is wrong.
