I'm a senior at a Senior Military College. Improving your pt score comes down to commitment, repetition, and proper form. My 1.5 mi run is my weakest event (10.5-11), but I've seen improvements by doing cardio twice a week. I enjoy swimming, and that has greatly impacted my run time. Pushups are my strongest, I've maxed them the past few PT tests I've taken them. To improve, a lot of it is breathing! Be sure you synchronize your breathing with your pushups and DO NOT HOLD YOUR BREATH! Doing 2 minute drills every night helps, but for me, going to the gym regularly helped me incredibly. Once I got my bench press up, my pushups became easy. Now situps. I'm decent (90) but the problem with them is that they don't measure abdominal strength. All they do is determine how good you are at sit ups.... And frankly it has to do with your body type. If you have long legs, you'll struggle. But my tip is to keep your chin glued to your chest when doing them, that way it won't weigh you down. Also when you complete a sit up, fucking drop yourself down. Don't lower yourself, as that will strain your abs.
