Basic answer: Do pushups. If you have a month until testing, you should be able to increase that number a good amount. You get crazy gains the first month, after that it becomes a wee bit harder.
Pushups on bars are a bit different to that of using the floor. If you can't find anything to emulate the bar, try doing them on your knuckles. Do you think grip will be a problem?
If you think your shoulders are a major problem elevate your legs on something like a chair so the shoulders are worked more. I would say if you can do 10, I would stick to the traditional pushup to practise with, but keep in mind changing hand position and elevation can work different muscle groups harder.
Is 10 your maximum repeition? If so try doing 3 sets of 6 repition with a 30-40 second rest inbetween instead of 10 in a row.

What exactly is your trouble with longer distance running? Is it that you are winded and get stitches quickly? Legs start burning too much? Quite a few people struggle on longer distant running because they exert themselves too much, or have not so stellar breathing technique.
Edit: Regardless what you do,
rest the day or so before the test. For reals.
