Waste of time. What you put in is what you get out... Topics like these make me wonder, why are you preparing?
One should not 'get ready' for a PR increase/decrease but rather have an ongoing effort to make sure their site is up to par at all times. PR is just one factor in determining how well a site is doing but I rather like to go with where the site is ranked in the search engines... being in the top 10 in the search engines is much more important to me than having a high PR.

Google likes special day. So I think the next PR update date is the Fourth of July - Independence Day (United States). .SR
lol, i totally agree with you PR is just a number and you should keep working on it to see some results while the most important is where your website stand in the SERP's so people should focus more on the SERP's than PR
How can you make your SERP stable without good PageRank? How many times a lower PageRank website beats sites like TechCrunch? once or twice or always?
Pagerank increasing never really bothers me, unless the rank goes up and the SERP goes down. I've had pages continually improve in SERP, even when the PR # was low. One page I'm tinkering with now, is steadily rising for SERP, keyword by keyword, even though it has a grey bar and no PR yet. When it's PR # finally shows and grows, I won't mind as long as the SERP don't get worse. A bigger question might not be how often does a lower pagerank page edge-out a higher, but whether it does it, and how it does it. And that may boil down exclusively to content.
There's nothing to prepare for...IMO Pagerank was calculated a few month ago so preparing now is like preparing for the future...which is a good idea in itself! lol
