Does anyone know what settings they used in their battery life tests such as screen brightness, what they were doing on the computer etc?

I think its 50% brightness, wifi, light browsing (ie no youtube), wordproccessing, and no keyboard backlight.
 
Testing conducted by Apple in May 2009 using preproduction 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo–based MacBook Pro units with a Better Battery Life setting. Battery life depends on configuration and use. See www.apple.com/batteries for more information. The wireless productivity test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing various websites and editing text in a word processing document with display brightness set to 50%.

That's what apple.com has at the bottom of the MacBook Pro tech specs page.
