It is recorded as a regular verb in this table. Its V2 form is prepared, not prepareed — that is why it is grouped as irregular. The portal rates it easy.

It means तैयार करना.
Yes — it is flagged IELTS-relevant on the portal, which means it shows up often in reading and writing tasks. Knowing all five forms matters because IELTS uses the perfect tense and the passive voice heavily.
