I don't know for sure, but I will bet with a thin build and cross country experience you can get the 1.5 mile down to a respectable time fairly easily.
I hate the idea of doing a max number of sit ups in an allotted time period, why not just do max number of sit ups at a certain tempo until form breaks? But whatever practice what the test calls for, I would think practicing technique would be a huge factor in increasing the number of sit ups you can squeeze out in a minute.
The push up test sounds the most difficult. I'm not sure I like the idea of doing a bunch of different types of push ups when the test just asks for the maximum number of standard push ups. I would try doing standard push ups with bands/chains or a plate on the upper back, while keeping an eye on your overall max number of push ups.
