I actually just had mine today. It's pretty standard although it varies by department. They check your vision and hearing, reflexes and what not. They also draw some blood and have a few tests regarding your heart. Took about 15-20 minutes.

Do alot of pushups between two chairs. Start with your body being as low as possible between to the two chairs and push your self all the way up. Doing other types of bench pressing methods also helps.
