what you're gonna be doing is anaerobic. tabata intervals will help the most in short amount of time. i personally use the bodyweight one in the 2nd link. speed squats, burpees, mountain climbers, speed skips. if you're not huffing and puffing by the end you aren't pushing yourself hard enough.

also, you should consider training for the test by replicating the exact parts of the test. ex. if the test requires you to run up 30 steps of stairs. you can alternate between doing 30 fast as you can and 40-50 as fast as you can.
+1 on everything, but definitely on the last paragraph... there's no better way then to actually do it and train the specific muscles.
