No you need not pile yourself in books and books to prepare for a mere april fools prank, but at least you got to know the tricks of the trade. Find out which prank you can pull off best, and maybe mentally rehearse it a few times over, just so you wont mess it up on the day itself. Make sure all your props are prepared so your prank remains concealed till the last moment. You have only one day to pranks people, try not to mess it up!
So after you sort of got what pranks you're going to attempt to do, what's next?
Step 2: Choose the right target, and make sure they are clueless of your prank

Make sure you pick the right target, someone pretty gullible (who wont take your joke to heart), but definitely don't try to prank a fellow pranker because he is sure to see through your tricks. When you have chosen a target, leave no tell tale signs that he is being tricked and keep him in the dark until revealing that he has been pranked ;) Keep a close eye on your target to make sure things go as plan and he would be fooled!
Step 3: Get some accomplices (but not too many!)

Now with a plan and a target, to take your april fools prank to the next level, you'll definitely some "accomplices", be it to keep your target fooled or otherwise. Just make sure you only tell a few trustworthy friends, if not it'll easily spread to the target and ruin your plans! The more people you tell the more likely your trick will be exposed, so be very careful.
Step 4: Keep a poker face, stay calm and do not panic!

Hey hey hey, calm down! As much as you've planned for the prank, don't overthink it and just stay calm. Take 2 deep breaths if you need and do everything as you planned. Make sure nothing seems too forced and would leave others suspicious, and just act as your usual self. Even if you slip up, do not falter and find a way to improvise. Confidence is key!
Step 5: Re-evaluate and adjust your prank if needed

One thing to note is you must rethink the consequence of your prank, if it has dire consequences please come up with something else to lower the stakes. There is a fine line between a good joke and a prank gone wrong, so make sure no one will get injured or very offended! It is a day for fun and laughter, not for anger and tensions to arise!
