i am going to be having a PE test for the army in about 3 weeks and i am heavily working out 4-5 times a week. i am wondering what might help me to recover right before the test (without stopping working out) so that i have enough energy to do a good job. (nutritionally also)

diet exercise and rest in moderation are best

Nothing, slow down, and dont be so concerned, my husband has his PT tests all the time, he always gets a marginal, and it's no big deal. Hes Air Force though, I don't know about the army. Eat carbs, i guess.

I train for triathlons. I stop training 1-2 days before, average time for recovery from intense regimen before a big event.
Eat carbohydrates, such as pasta, this helps build energy stores for endurance.

carry on your workout routine until the week before, then just tone it down a little.
make sure you warm up plenty before the test
eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies and something like porridge for slow released energy
