Getting in fast shape for fitness test....

OK, I need to trouble the good folks at TFP for some more advice.....

I've got just under 5 weeks to be able to perform....

20 push-ups in 60 seconds
25 sit-ups in 60 seconds
120 12" step-ups per minute for 5 minutes (in cadence)

Can already do 25 push-ups (though not sure about how long, but I'm close)
Around 5 sit-ups before it *just won't go anymore*.
Not sure about the step-ups, but I was doing 3 miles with 25lbs on my back in about 45 minutes.

Should I *just* focus on getting in shape for these activities, or add other stuff in?
Should I attempt to do these exercises twice a day, or do I need to get more rest in between?
Would adding a 25lb pack for the step-up exercise get me there faster?

Any advice would be helpful, I just want to maximize the time I have to do this. TIA!
