I worked for LAFD in California for 2 years before moving to Illinois and taking a job with a Fire department out here.
After having taken the CPAT 3 times in order to maintain it during hiring processes I can tell you the way your training should be more than fine for being able to pass it. Its mostly cardio. 10 events with the most difficult event being the stair master, which you have to do for 3 and a half minutes wearing 75 pounds of weighted vest. I think the setting is set to 1 stair every second. So practicing on the stair master at your gym is a great way to get ready for it. I think the last time I passed it my time was 7 mins 46 seconds your allowed 10 mins 15 seconds if i remember right.
Also, with all the cardio and calorie burning workouts your doing you might want to consider taking Glutamine. Its a powder that helps your muscles recover quicker and slows the lactic acid buildup caused from muscle stress.
