Exaggerate the push-up form, i.e. if the standard is for your back to be at least parallel with your arms, exaggerate by going further (like all the way to the ground), so when you are tested, doing the standard is no sweat. Concentrating on quality over quantity, in my opinion and experience, is the key to doing well on tests. It may be hard at first, but after a while, when you're totally smoked from doing exercises all day long, at least you won't be worried about cadre yelling at you for your form.
