I did this test last week. The things you should concentrate on practicing are the half 10 metre circles (tear drops) and making sure you have a definite straight line and change of bend when changing the rein across from B to E. Good luck! :)
 
Everyone probably knows this already, but you can download tests with diagrams from dressagediagrams.com

There are other sites as well. Google it & a number come up.
 
This is my favourite prelim test. The only hard part for me is holding the canter across the diagonal. But it flows really well and is very symmetrical. Good luck!
 
The two "harder" things are 1/2 10m circles at F/K to the centre line, returning to the track at B/E. So a tear drop shape.
You also canter the whole way across the diagonal and I think you canter at A rather than between markers/in a corner.
