Dang I hate running

I've got a few things for you:

First, wear a wrist watch that has a stop watch on it when you train and when you run the test. That way you can find your pace for the mile and a half in training and replicate that on the test. Also on the test you will know if you are behind schedule to make your time and you can gut out a sprint if needed.

Second, if you haven't already, clean up your eating habits. I'm not sure of your body composition, but if your diet is clean, and your body is getting more lean then the run will become much easier.

Third, persistence is key. Remember anything worth anything does not come easy. The reason they do all these tests is to weed out the "non-hackers" they do not want representing there department. Many want to wear the uniform, but not all are willing to do what it takes.

Good luck on the test.
