How can I improve my APFT fast?

For a long time I've been unable to do most excersice due to medical reasons. Those problems are now gone, and I have an APFT (army physical fitness test) coming up that I've just found out about last week. Up untill I found out about it, I was basically just doing my physical therapy workouts, with a few more serious excercise's thrown in every week. As soon as I found out about the test, I stepped up my regimen but I am still no where close to ping and the test is around Aug 1st. I've been taking some protein and BCAA's to help, but every time I give myself a mock APFT I fail at least the pushups and run. My workout routine as is: Muscle failure for pushups monday and wednesday, the 8 minutes of pain workout on tuesday's and thursday's, and a two and a quarter mile run after each workout every day. Friday I do a self check (the mock apft mentioned earlier) and saturday I do workout's targeting my weakness from the previous week. I have seven days of workout time, counting today, and I'd like to double my pushups, add around ten to my situps and shave about two minutes off my run time. This will put me into that ping score I'd need. The only option I can think of is to go ahead and continue my routine as is, fail this upcoming APFT and then hopefully p the makeup test, which I'd like to say is in September.
