I personally think the phrase in question applies more to preparing for an event as opposed to an exam.
"Do any preparation" works slightly better, but I'd actually suggest rephrasing your sentence entirely so the intent is more clear.
For example, "How can I prepare for this test?" or, "What preparations should I make for this test?" would work well.
So yes, "I want to know whether it is possible to make any preparations before the test," does technically work, but one of the examples I provided should fit your purposes better. :)

When you say “any” it implies plurality, or that there might be more than one preparation in this case. You could either say “any preparations” (plural) OR “a preparation” (singular) here. So, “make any preparation” is not what I would recommend. I would say “make any preparations” instead. Hope that helps!
