How do I improve fitness in a week?

I’m not talking about losing weight.

I’ve been training some for a physical fitness test required for a job I’m applying for…I have to do 18-22 pushups, run 1.5 miles in 14-15:20 minutes, and do at least 28 situps in a minute.

Currently, I have not made the 1.5 miles in 15 minutes. I’m a couple of minutes shy. I’ve been doing pushups every day, but not as good about running. Now it is crunch time.

I was just informed this morning that my test is next thursday. We did not have more notice than this. What should I do in the meantime to maximize the little time I have left to train?

Please realize I’m not looking for miracles, I know you can’t get into the best shape of your life in one week’s time, but this is what I have to work with. How can I do it best?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Are there any jobs in the Military without a physical fitness test or a way to bypass it?

Is there any way to get around the physical fitness tests?
Ive seen some guys that i cant believe passed the tests. Do officers still have to take the PT tests? Or a certain job where they dont care? Like a doctor or something?
