In this sentence, "экзамену" is the dative case of "экзамен" (exam), used because the verb "готовятся" (prepare) requires its subject to "готовиться к" (to prepare for something) with the noun completed in the dative case.

Before the exam, we were all very nervous.
In this sentence, "экзамену" occurs in an instructional or situational dative as it relates to timing or conditions preceding the main event stated.
Учитель объяснял сложные аспекты, относящиеся к экзамену.
