Yes, it is part of a combination verb with "are". This can be seen if words are re-ordered to not be a question:
- You are prepared to graduate.

Actually, "prepared" serves as an adjective in your sentence. It can serve as a verb if you would say "have you prepared for college?"

@Ghadir Are you sure? I have spent 15 minutes trying to verify this, but could not find a source. That does not mean you are wrong, though. If "prepared" is an adjective, then "to graduate" would be the noun being modified.
Curiously, I did find that the "present progressive tense" would use a compound verb with a form of "to be" plus a present participle:
- You are preparing to graduate.
But with the past participle ("prepared" in our example) I can find no matching tense, so you are probably correct. Thank you.
