20 push ups isnt a Heap, but it may be difficult seeing as you havnt built up. I suggest you do a few run throughs, and then just try your guts out on the actually day. Its the mental state you need to concentrate on seeing as pysically your kinda stuffed. LOL. Just keep your mind in the 'I can do it' state. And really push your hardest. If repeating I can do it, doesnt work thnk about the punishment afterwards given by your teacher, and fellow students... that alone should make you do it
Good Luck, hope it goes well

I would do a failure set of normal pushups (no handle), fail set normal (handle) then drop to girl mode (knees,not flat but stomach and back angled up) and fail that out every other day in addition to ab work,cardio,whatever weight regiment you are on. Be sure to either eat dead animal or a protein shake within 30 minutes. Buying boiled frozen shrimp is a quick (run warm water!) and tasty way to get some meat.

The best way to improve on your push-ups is to start out doing as many as you can without over-stressing your body. When your arms/muscles give out, stop. Rest 3, or 4 minutes , breathe deeply a few times and then do another set.  If the set is 10 pushups, do the set and once again rest,  breathe deeply and do a third set.  After the fourth day of doing this routine, add a pushup to the sets.  Do 11 pushups per set, for 3 days and and then add another pushup to the sets/routine.   After a  few months you will be doing 75 pushups with ease. You need to rest your body at least one day a week,  to allow your muscles to recover fully.

I'm a former military man.  I walk by the river every morning,  drop down and do 75 pushups.  I get up breathe deeply 4 times, drop and do 85 pushups.  On the third set I do 100 pushups. I also found I get stronger fast, if I use a bench and do pushups off the floor while my feet/toes are upon the bench.  This places a lot of pressure/weight on your shoulders and upper chest.  Make sure you allow your body/chest to go almost to where it touches the floor and then push upwards. Until your arms are straight.

Pushups will keep you in shape because pushups place work on the entire body.
